[Solved] Screen lockup since xorg 1.6.3-4 upgrade (catalyst)

Hey there,

since i yesterday upgradet my system (pacman -Syu) and pacman installed a new xorg-server version (from 1.6.3-3 to 1.6.3-4) and xf86-inpud-evdev my screen gets completely locked up after i start GDM. Only thing that helps is to press the reset button.
Now i went back to the radeonhd driver wich works quiet well so far.

Does anyone know what this could be?

xorg.conf for catalyst:

Section "ServerLayout"
    Identifier     "X.org Configured"
    Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0
    InputDevice    "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
    InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection

Section "Files"
    RgbPath      "/usr/share/X11/rgb"
    ModulePath   "/usr/lib/xorg/modules"
    FontPath     "/usr/share/fonts/misc"
    FontPath     "/usr/share/fonts/100dpi:unscaled"
    FontPath     "/usr/share/fonts/75dpi:unscaled"
    FontPath     "/usr/share/fonts/TTF"
    FontPath     "/usr/share/fonts/Type1"
EndSection

Section "Module"
    Load  "extmod"
    Load  "dbe"
    Load  "xtrap"
    Load  "record"
    Load  "dri"
    Load  "glx"
    Load  "GLcore"
    Load  "freetype"
EndSection

Section "ServerFlags"
    Option        "DontZap" "false"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier  "Keyboard0"
    Driver      "evdev"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier  "Mouse0"
    Driver      "mouse"
    Option        "Protocol" "auto"
    Option        "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
    Option        "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
    Identifier   "Monitor0"
    VendorName   "Monitor Vendor"
    ModelName    "Monitor Model"
EndSection

Section "Device"
    Identifier  "Card0"
    Driver      "fglrx"
    VendorName  "ATI Technologies Inc"
    BusID       "PCI:1:0:0"
#    Option          "RenderAccel" "on"
#    Option          "EnablePageFlip" "on"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
    Identifier "Screen0"
    Device     "Card0"
    Monitor    "Monitor0"
    DefaultDepth     24
    SubSection "Display"
        Viewport   0 0
        Depth     24
    EndSubSection
EndSection

Section "DRI"
    Mode         0666
EndSection

This one worked until yesterday.

I tried to reinstall catalyst several times but it didnt help.

Thank you for your help
Marcel

I have the same problem everytime an update releated to xorg is released. Only reinstalling catalyst doesn't is, but recompiling and installing new(er) catalyst(-utils) packages solves the problem - at least on my pc. Maybe this works for you too.

Hey,

i just solved the problem by removing all xorg and graphics-driver related stuff and reinstalling (compiling) it.
Now it works again .. until the next update to xorg ^^
