I had archlinux with xfree86 up and running 1.5 weeks ago, when my HD died...
today I finally reinstalled it, smooth install (only he can't install packages on ext3 partitions created by partition magic ('device is full') - he has to make the filesystem himself, does anybody know why? other distros CAN write to those partitions)
I installed the latest version of xfree (4.2.1-3) and used the exact same config file as I used 1.5 weeks ago, yet he can't start it
when I do startx, the screen 'clicks' and goes black (what he's supposed to do), 'clicks' again and stays black (what he isn't supposed to do)
ctrl+alt+backspace doesn't help, I have to alt+Fx to go back to a console, to see this message:
[snip - nothing that indicates an error in this portion]
Fatal server error:
caught signal 11. Server aborting
the log file doesn't give any severe errors either
does anyone know what's going on?

What type of video card and driver are you running? I can't guarantee this, but try generating a new config using the X system then insert any relevant changes into the old file or use the new file whichever works best.

about that not writing to an ext 3 partition while others can is provably not related to AL, i think that would be kernel related. If you have a Nvidia card try disabling some of these in the /etc/X11/XF86Config file
Section "Module"

I'm using the nv driver...
Should be nvidia, e.g.:
Section "Device"
Identifier "My Card Name"
Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "nVidia"
BoardName "My Board Name"

i guess maybe this is driver's bug, because i build and install the newest xf86-video-intel pkg(version 2.2.0),
so i reinstall old version(2.1.1-2) from arch repos and all ok.
