My box has been dead-in- the-water since the 10/8 updates. Since then, I have set up KMS (both late and early), I have added options i915 modeset=1 to /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf I have added the following to /etc/mkinitcpio.conf: MODULES="... intel_agp i915" FILES="... /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf" I have rebuilt the initramfs with: mkinitcpio -p kernel26 And still when I boot, the process gets to "Entering Runlevel 5", then the screen flashes, the little circular X cursor appears for a second and the BAM X crashes and I'm back to the terminal. I can't think of anything else to try. The salt-in-the-wound is that this box worked perfectly before the Oct. 8 updates. I haven't seen a gui since then. Can anyone think of any reason that X will not keep running after it starts? Latest Xorg.0.log at: http://www.3111skyline.com/download/Archlinux/bugs/supersff/Xorg.0.log -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
