xorg-server upgrade: X freezes [SOLVED]

Hello,
Yesterday I upgraded xorg-server to 1.6.3-4. After login I run 'startx' but today X completely freezes and I just could reboot my computer. I downloaded older PKBUILD (1.6.3-3) and deleted patches/"fixes from http://wiki.x.org/wiki/Server16Branch", compiled it and now X works again. I think it has something to do with catalyst (I'm not sure). If you need log, I can install newest xorg-server version and paste it here.

Hello cinan!

Yeah, xorg.log/errorlog/syslog would be useful.

Let me guess - ATI is your videocard vendor?
I'm always reinstall catalyst* after X-Server upgrade, and then it works fine.
I'm using this repo:

[catalyst]
Server=http://dev.archlinux.org/~eduardo/repo/i686

Aye, same issues here and yes i'm on ATI (if i wasn't on a laptop i'd tear the gpu to pieces).

Luckily re-installing catalyst as suggested worked
