I recently removed my xorg.conf and x refused to start. Ob the screen I saw blinking and then. Well nothing. Maybe if you put some basic conf it will help? -- Sent from my Android phone with K-9 Mail. Please excuse my brevity.

I don't know what you mean by the latest and greatest driver. Are you referring to Intel or Nvidia? I don't even have an xorg.conf file on my system. On 09/12/2011 09:36 PM, Andrew Z wrote: hmmmm. Did you see this : https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=124918 ? (silly question, but i'll still try) - are you sure you have the latest and greatest driver? get rid of xorg.conf and see if you get anything.

After I installed the kmod-nvidia package again, I restarted and modified the kernel arguements to include the intel.disable=1 arguement, but the result was the same....eventually the screen flickered a few times and it stopped booting, although I could still open a terminal via alt+F2. I'm not sure what to try next. Someone requested some command output from me in a different email, which I provided, but I'm lost now. I didn't think it would be this difficult.
