strange things after -Syu

just did pacman -Syu and rebooted ... now every time i open a terminal (urxvt and xterm) this happens...

everything else seems to work fine.  it's only the terminal that does this.
below is my /var/log/pacman.log from today. i noticed that several things from xorg were replaced / installed. 
anyone have any idea how to fix it.

thanks again.

Re: strange things after -Syu

Problems with the xorg uograde and ATI drivers are well documented on the forums, try a forum search and it's sure to turn up something.

Re: strange things after -Syu

For me downgrading was the best choice for now. Look at your pacman logs or search for the "right" packages to downgrade...

Re: strange things after -Syu

do you think reconfiguring xorg would fix it?

Re: strange things after -Syu

You can try. I'd refer you to ATI wiki for specifics. I tried disabling KMS, enabling KMS, changing driver...

And as loafer suggests do some searching in the forum. I've seen posts w/people having a similiar problem as this.

Re: strange things after -Syu

yeah Xorg -configure did the trick.

sorry i really should have tried that before posting.
