After upgrade, my kde4 is black!
Last night I started full system upgrade:
pacman -Syu
After that, I rebooted my computer and X crashed.
I started
Xorg -configure
to create new xorg.conf (when I installed arch, few days ago xorg.conf created in this way was ok).
After that, kdm was started. I typed my username and password, kde splash starts to show, and than all become black... black windows, black desktop... all is black, but one gray rectangle in the midle of the screen.
My computer is laptop with sis chipset and sis integrated graphics card (i use xf86-vide-sis module).
Arch is fresh installed (few days ago). I have only kde4 (not kdemod4), and some usual applications (firefox3, eclipse etc...).

Did the update include the new xorg?
It operates differently now due to hotplugging. Check out the xorg input hotplugging wiki article for details.

Re: After upgrade, my kde4 is black!
I think yes, the update did include the xorg... some of the packages that are updated are xf86-video-sis, xf86-video-vesa, xorg (and more...).
I do not understand what happend to colors (i guess that it is something about openGL?)....
I will look into "Xorg input hotplugging" later (when I come home), and I hope that there will bi some answers for me...

Re: After upgrade, my kde4 is black!
Another common problem people seem to be having is an Rgb line that needs to be commented out in /etc/X11/xorg.conf. That might have something to do with color errors?

Maybe... I also commented that line.

Re: After upgrade, my kde4 is black!
I deleted folders .kde4 and .kderc , and was started.
Now, I have the problem:
when I log out, I am unable to log in again in graphical environment (I am switched in text mode).
