Few issues after recent updates

I updated my system day before yesterday and after booting I noticed that the last update didn't go smoothly.

My current setup is Arch stable on Thinkpad X201 on a docking station with external monitor with 1920x1200 resolution.

Issues I have noticed are following:
The console framebuffer seems to limit itself on only part of my screen, perhaps 1024x768 or something like that. The picture is aligned to top-left corner.
When I started StumpWM for the first time the whole X was using 800x600 resolution or similar, using xrandr I could select the 1920x1200 resolution but the StumpWM itself only seemed to use the same portion of the screen as the console framebuffer.

I then edited my xorg.conf and removed all 'non-essential' stuff from it and added "Modes '1920x1200'" to Screens section to get correct resolution when starting X but StumpWM still only use the smaller part of screen.

I then switched to Fluxbox which seems to work with correct resolution. It still has problem in Firefox. The firefox address bars list of addresses is aligned to screens left side instead of being just below the address bar.

Then I noticed that my keyboard won't work correctly. Prior to update I could use my keyboards fn+key combo but now it doesn't work. I use Happy Hacking Keyboard Pro 2.

Any idea how to get my keyboard and stumpwm to work again? StumpWM might be WM issue but it is pretty odd still.
Keyboard issue is more pressing as I can't type umlauted chars with it.

Got the keyboard issue fixed. Apparently the xmodmap file I've been using won't work with the new xorg.
Still need to find why the console and stumpwm is working incorrectly.

Re: Few issues after recent updates

Might be xorg related. I also have problem after upgrade to linux-firmware.
