i have a very sparse xorg config atm and after the last update (1.5.3-2) it doesn't know my keyboard or mouse, when logging into X (razercopperhead)
soo how do i boot my arch to a console soo i can disable the testing repo and get back to a working xorg?

i remember that lots of users had this problem with the new xorg from testing. you could do a search
edit later: that was other problem but i leave the link http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php? … 37#p446937

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

You can simply switch sessions. Use Ctrl+Alt+F1 (F1-F6 will work).

Damn, that wasted an hour of my precious weekend time
Starting a laptop into a dwm environment (no clickable icons etc.) without having any cached pkgs left and not beeing able to type anything was kind of a weird experience...
Haven't been here in a while. Still rocking Arch.
