I have the same issue also. Something told me not to reboot but I did because I wanted to use my rt-kernel.
yes, please help because I too have to use Ubuntu-Studio and SuSE's JAD. Both way too bloated and not as fast as Arch..

I tried to fix the xorg.conf but nothing.

maybe not the best place to ask such a question, but is there a way to keep arch not so bleeding edge, but to be able to still get security updates of packages? maybe a different repository that uses more tested packages?

I think that file is a part of the gcc-libs package, which you may need to reinstall.

As far as 'not-so-bleeding-edge, but still security updates', no.  There is no official repo for that, and as far as I know, nobody's made such a repo on their own.
