[Xorg] crash after updating

Hi all,
after updating arch, i've encountered a really strange issue.
Xorg doesn't want to start anymore. Or should i say, it starts but crashes within a second...
I thought it came from xfce4-svn (my current wm). But i've also tried to use fvwm and the same problem occured...
Finally, i've tried to installed blackbox and after startx command, it seemed to work........ until i tried to launch firefox within a terminal (unable to find a shortcut ), and the same crash occured... enlightenment seems to have the same behaviour (but a mouse move is enough to make the xserver crashing)
I've tried to change my xorg.conf file but it didn't solve the problem at all (so i restaured the previous)...
I then decided to re-install both xorg and xfce4-svn, but it neither worked...
Having tried all the solutions i could imagine, i post there, hoping that someone would be able to solve the problem out
PS : sorry for possible english mistakes (i'm french )

Re: [Xorg] crash after updating

Do you use testing and nvidia-71xx/96xx? See www.archlinux.org.

Re: [Xorg] crash after updating

if its from testing, then there have been a fair share of bugs and crashes known to happen as we all know.

Re: [Xorg] crash after updating

I have just one little problem with Xorg from testing (or is guilty KDE?):
everything works very good, fast but lights on the keyboard don't turn on (caps lock, num lock...). It works but when I press Caps lock for example light doesn't turn on. On console is okay.
