Hi there,
Today I did a system update that ended up breaking xorg very hard... Up until today I was using xf86-video-amd-git and the open source drivers and had no problems.
Now xorg it's crashing with
xf86Enable failed to enable I/O portsAnd a core dump.
I've tested the switching to the proprietary drivers, downgrading both xorg-server and xf86-video-amd (released and git). I've managed somehow to "revive" xorg, although no input device works (not keyboard nor mouse), and I can't switch to tty.
I know I should post logs and stuff, but right now I'm still figuring how to do that. If you have any recommendations, they'll be appreciated. I just wanted to get the warning out in case it saves someone from the disruption.
EDIT: I've been able to work my way around it with a live USB and switching to wayland for the time being (although everything is a mess right now)
As for those logs:

EDIT2: I've edited the title because the drivers are blameless, but I thought if anyone else is facing the same issue, they should know.

After some tinkering, turns out the drivers are not the cause.
After the last xorg update, the VNC module (I had it because of tigervnc and xrdp) crashes the xorg server. Removing those packages solved the issue.
I'll try to raise the bug with the nice people at xorg/VNC so that it can be sorted out.
