Linux-api-headers & python-imaging upgraded, Xorg fails.

Question

Hey archers, as the title says, I upgraded. It just asked me to replace kernel-headers with linux-api-headers and to replace php-(something?) with php-input(I think). It may not have been php, but it was something along those lines. Before, xorg wouldn't start, I would login, be flashed with a black screen, and then kicked back to the login screen again. Then I used 'sudo pacman -S slim' Now, Slim wont boot, the log says it's missing a library, and /etc/bin/slim doesn't exist anymore. I would post the logs of Xorg and slim, but i'm using the links browser in the terminal from within my broken system. Xorg complains of something along the lines: {WW}fail Drm device three or four times and then it loads my evdev (_Logitech gaming) mouse, did something along the lines of: {WW}module failed to load before quitting. I'm guessing the problem has something to do with upgrading to the linux-api-headers, since nothing went wrong until I rebooted my computer.

Answer 1

I checked the log, and you're right, it wasn't just the api-headers. What else was installed/removed & replaced:
lxde-settings-daemon --> lxsession-lite
pil --> python-imaging (where did I get php-input from?)
upgraded slim
upgraded libjpeg
and the log for Slim(wrote it down this time):
Dropping Master
slim: unexpected signal 15
(EE) intel(0): failed to initialize kernel memory manager
setting master
record: extension enabled at configuration time
record: this extension is known to be broken, disabling extension now.
record: bigs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20500
[config:Dbus] couldn't register object path
dropping master
Any ideas?
