hello guys, i updated my arch linux yesterday and when i rebooted (kernel update) and run startx, awesome just crashed. so i thought - ok, it might be my old awesome version from git, so i rebuilt latest git version of awesome. after that, awesome starts up, but i get just a black screen with default x cursor. i can't quit it, kill it, use ctrl-alt-backspace or even ctrl-alt-del. i just have to use the power button.
i tried to remove my .xinitrc and run startx and it worked! ok, i have this nasty twm window manager running at the moment, but at least i can be sure the problem ain't in the xorg core. when i run awesome inside xephyr now, i get this output: (EE) AIGLX error: dlopen of /usr/lib/xorg/modules/dri/swrast_dri.so failed (/usr/lib/xorg/modules/dri/swrast_dri.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory) (EE) GLX: could not load software renderer unrecognised device identifier! (EE) config/hal: NewInputDeviceRequest failed (2) unrecognised device identifier! (EE) config/hal: NewInputDeviceRequest failed (2) unrecognised device identifier! (EE) config/hal: NewInputDeviceRequest failed (2) unrecognised device identifier! (EE) config/hal: NewInputDeviceRequest failed (2) unrecognised device identifier! (EE) config/hal: NewInputDeviceRequest failed (2) unrecognised device identifier! (EE) config/hal: NewInputDeviceRequest failed (2) /usr/share/awesome/themes/dante4d/theme:5: unexpected symbol near '8' i'm very confused as i don't really happen to know where to look at now - i tried to recompile git version of awesome, i reinstalled xcb-utils, cairo and pango (as packages tend to get corrupt sometimes with updates using pacman), checked lua.rc with awesome -k... all this seems to be fine. maybe the AIGLX error is something important, but i haven't figuret yet where the file swrast_dri.so has gone / which package should contain it / what's wrong with that i'd be glad to get some advice from you, like what can be the problem here... regards, david
