I did a big update on my main arch machine and rebooted, I can't start X

login (ctrl-alt-F1) shows a never ending "No Protocol Specified" message
which finally fails with "xinit: unable to connect to X server: Connection
refused" and "Xauth: error in locking authority file /home/user/.Xauthority"
I checked my Xorg.0.log file and I see this message listed:

the "ConnectToAcpid" and (II) NVIDIA(0): "AcpidSocketPath" X configuration

what could be the problem here?
Do you use testing? If yes, the nvidia drivers are not yet compatible
with xserver from testing.
what are you talking about?
xorg-server from testing is from 1.9 series, therefor supported.
I suggest to look at nvnews forum and report it there. I saw that some
models have that bug.
