Broken Xorg Drivers (maybe) 23 February 2024, 02:42:36 Hello everyone. I'm installing artix fresh on a computer that previously had artix on it before. Installation goes on as normal , but when I get to sddm (I've tried lightdm, xdm and others as well) , the screen stops respoding to inputs and I cannot login. Even setting autologin in the sddm conf file lets me be on the desktop for a few seconds then it crashes. I've installed the usual drivers (xf86-video-amdgpu, amd-ucode) which i did in previous installation which worked fine but not anymoreI tried using the stable iso with a desktop environment too with calamares installer which works until I update the system which causes the issue again so I suspect newer drivers are at faultI have a second computer that is more recent with artix, did the same installation steps and it works fineMy PC specs areGPU: AMD A4-6210 APU with RADEON R3 GRAPHICSCPU: AMD ATI Radeon R3 GraphicsAny ideas on how to fix? I'm basically stuck using arch as a server for now. I'm using runit init

Re: Broken Xorg Drivers (maybe) Reply #4 – 23 February 2024, 12:43:04 I'm only guessing but I seen reports of the latest mesa not working with some AMD GPU's.You could try switching VT (ctrl-alt-F2) and downgrading it. https://archive.artixlinux.org/packages/m/mesa/Another thing I would try personally is disabling sddm, installing xorg-xinit, and starting lxqt manually with startx /usr/bin/startlxqt . See if that makes a differance.Also look at and post the Xorg log
