Logging out does not drop me to console but a black screen

Recent pacman -Syu upgraded me to latest xorg-server and I have this problem: logging out does not drop me back to console but a black screen and after 30 seconds, a blinking cursor. Nothing works and I have to reboot. If I choose to reboot (instead of logout) I get the same result except that eventually the computer reboots. Using nv - no problems. Using simple nvidia (single screen) - no problem. (I have a monitor and tv-out setup). Problem remains whether I use xfce4 or fluxbox. And the ctrl-alt-backspace keyboard shortcut results in the same black screen. Xorg.0.log tells me nothing. Before the upgrade, no problem.
I usually use startx and I have ck-launch-session etc in my .xinitrc. I use the latest nvidia-96xx driver and have no other X problem. Everything works, including the tv-out.
This is a minor inconvenience really and I usually switch to a console and as root killall X if I need to log myself out for any reason. But if anyone as a clue as to why this is so, or suffers the same problem, do let me know. Thanks.

Thanks guys...
@ckristi - I don't use kdm. I startx from console when I want to go into X.
@madtux - I guess I will have to read up on kernel mode setting and KMS - I actually don't know what you are referring to although I have seen KMS refered to in this forum with reference to xorg. Any links? Do note no problems with nv and single monitor nvidia. Hopefully the cure is not worse than the disease.

I have added a website as safe for popups.when I select an item it takes me to a page that says I have been logged out. does not happen with other browsers

I have selected my website as safe. While on the site I fill out a form, then when going to the next page to view results, Firefox says I've been logged out. I hit the back button and go back to the form fill in page. It will not take me to the page of results. This does not happen in other browsers.
This also happens with other websites.

I just got home from work where my iPad was working normal, but when I got home I pulled out my iPad and there's nothing but a black screen. I've tried to hold on the on buttone and the start button on the bottum front of the screen and so far nothing Why

Unexplainable screen outage. Is there any ideas as to why a perfectly working screen would turn black and not be able to reopen? I was using at work, storeds it in my briefcase and when I got home I turned my iPad back on to work on my music files, but all I received was a black screen I've tried to hold town the on - off button at the top of the screeen and also the small button pad at the bottom of the screen, all with no changes. How do I get my iPad working again. I really depended on using this tonight. Any ideas?

Is the iPad charged? Plug it in with the charger/wall outlet for half an hour and try again to reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears.

SAML v2 SP Single Log Out does not work. Please help...

Hi,
I am working to integrate the SAML v2 SP to communicate and exchange data with the IDP. Both IDP and SP are using Sun AM 7.0 with Sun One Web Server 6.1.
On the SP site, I implemented an Assertion consumer custom code to intercept the SAML Assertions from HTTP-POST protocol. This custom code decrypt, verify signature, and parse the SAML Attribute Assertion then redirect attributes data to application. The SSO is working fine between IDP, SP, and application. Here is the summary result I found:
1. IDP initiated SSO - PASSED
2. IDP initiated SLO - PASSED
3. SP initiated SSO - PASSED
4. SP initiated SLO - FAILED
The item 4 failed with the debug log shows "SAML2Utils.getSSOToken: no valid SSO token". I think it failed because the custom code on the SP site might have missed some steps before redirect data to the application.
I am stuck and do not know how to fix this problem. Any hint/help will greatly appreciate.
Thanks very much.

Macbook Pro 2011 DVI HDMI out does not work with TV when the power cable is connected

My Macbook Pro (Early 2011) DVI HDMI out does not work with TV when the power cable is connected. If get the blue screen and then can use the macbook but nothing is displayed on the TV. If i go into display I can see that there are two screens but nothing displayed on the TV. If i take the power cable out at this point the TV shows the second desktop as expected. If i then reconnect the cable, the screen flickers, as though it is being affected by the power cable, and the screen goes blank on the TV. Only if i remove the DVI cable do i get the blue screen again. If i remove the power cable and reconnect it will do it every single time, so i cannot see it being a TV issue or a minor glitch.
I have had this working previously but at the minute it seems to not be playing ball....any thoughts
Thanks
Dan

Satellite 1800-100: video-out does not work

He,
I just installed windows XP on my old Satellite 1800-100, but now my video-out does not work anymore. So I just downloaded the latest driver, but there's no way I can get it installed. According to Windows the new driver isn't newer, so it won't let me update it. And when i try to unistall the display driver, I have to reboot before it takes effect, and wile rebooting it automaticly installs the standard driver again.
Can anybody help me?
Greets,
Daan

Hi
Do you mean TV- out port or monitor port? As far as I know this unit is preinstalled with WXP Home and all drivers can be also used for WXP Pro.
Did you preinstall your own OS (non recovery image)?

How do I set up the XCode Debugger so that it does not drop into asm?

How do I set up the XCode Debugger so that it does not drop into asm?
I want to step through my Cocoa Objective-C code and I do not want to see the underlying assembly. When I hit step over, I want it to step to my next line of objective-C code, not to the next assembly language statement.
99+% of the time, I want to do high level debugging. Don't you?

I solved my own problem almost immediately after I posted it.
You use Debug>Toggle Disassembly Display.
It puts a check mark to drop into assembly, no check mark for no assembly (my choice) and a dash (NSMixedState) for both. It's obvious now.
Sometimes it can be vexing to find simple XCode features quickly.

DNS: The selected log file does not exist

Hi to all,
I am using Lion Server on a Mac Mini and everything seems to work fine. However, when I want to check my DNS log file (Server Admin > DNS > Log) I get a message that "The selected log file does not exist"! Stopping and starting the DNS service doesn't help. Anyone any idee how to view the log file within the Server Admin app?
Thanks in advance!
Ewald.

hi John!
if you have time, patience, and squared balls (just for laugh! ):
Use "strace" to trace all system calls a binary make... System calls like "open" file and "close" file =)
That's say, we are going to "trace the files opened by specific application".
"Strace" in MacOSX comes with Developer Tools, so you'll need to install these to continue.
First you have to know which are the Applications in the game, because "Server Admin" is a client-server application, there will be a client application in the client machine, and a server application running in the server.
You have to trace the server application running in the server. It will be the one which opens the log file, and sends the data to the client application.
I've made some previous investigation about the Server Admin Log parser (see https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3352647?start=0&tstart=0).
Also will be helpfull to read a little bit about strace ( http://linux.die.net/man/1/strace )
Here i do my bet, maybe that command line is what you look for:
#sudo strace launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.ServerPerfLog.plist | grep "open"
sudo: do as super user
strace: trace the binary
launchctl: system service
load -w file: load, as defined in this file
| grep open: and substract just the "open file" traces
Let me know if that gives you more clues!

Have you got my point, I am talking about those indexes which are created by us time to time according to our needs.
Thankyou
