need help: everything x-related broken

since my upgrade to xorg 7.3 and 2.6.23 nothing x related really works any more. if i try to start kdemod's kde it crashes the whole machine. if i fire up opera in ion3 the links are quirky and it doesn't take half of the input clicks. gtk menus are not accessible and so on... i've no idea what's going on. i also don't know where "2.6.22ck" went in the repo. the synaptics driver seems broken and i had a hard time getting my external mouse to work... what is going on? can someone please shed some light into my current desktop-darkness.

i'm running on an asus a6km + arcg 2.6.23 + nvidia 100.14.19-2.

Re: need help: everything x-related broken

Hrmmm sounds like you haven't been following the forums much.  That's a lot of information to gather and post here, so I suggest you search the forums (and read the front page news) for answers to many of these commonly asked questions (now several weeks old).

PS: Your touchpad isn't set up properly in Xorg... follow the wiki and everything should be fine:

In case you don't have time or motivation to read the forums, I think you will get most of the changes and updates if you read/subscribe to the arch-announce mailing list.
