[SOLVED]Problem with today's updates (My pc is unusable!!)

aberkoke · 2010-02-01 00:58:30

Hi arch community!!

I have updated today my arch i686 and i have a big problem. X server doesn't start correctly. All seems good, but when i boot my pc, the screen flickers, one second the monitor is off and the next one second the monitor is on and the screen is black and again the same cyclically. Nothing works (ctrl + alt + bk sp, ctrl + alt + F1-7). Only i can press "alt + print screen + REISUB" and reboot my pc.

If i reboot my pc from fallback kernel, i can press ctrl + alt + F1 and entry to terminal. I have reinstall past kernel (2.6.32-6 and 2.6.33-RC6) and doesn't work (is not the kernel), i have reinstall xorg-server 1.7.3.902-1 and neither seems to work. I have seen logs files and i can't view nothing anormal.

I have this graphic card:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc M24 [Radeon Mobility X600]
Toshiba Satellite M40-285

Do you want more information?
Thanks, i hope somebody can help me!!

probably related to the libpng and libjpeg update. Try booting to console and starting X from there to see if you can find what is causing the issues. (cairo-lcd needing rebuilt?)

aberkoke · 2010-02-01 11:30:41

Solved!!!!! The problem was cairo-lcd. Now it doesn't compile (it doesn't find libpng). I have removed cairo-lcd and i have installed cairo from extra.

Thanks!!!!
