Default Xorg freezing when started
Gah, my Arch install decided to bomb itself (libread.so disappeared, and when I tried to use a livecd+chroot to fix it, it provided the same error. /wrist)

Anyways, I did a fresh install (save I'm still using the same home partition with all of its files) and X freezes whenever I run xinit. I thought it was an issue with hotplugging, but when I disabled hotplugging, it produced the same result. Xorg doesn't seem to think there is a problem, however, because xorg.0.log is empty.

All that is installed is Xorg, nvidia drivers, alsa, and some mesa utilities. I'd rather not install HAL and Dbus, as my earlier install was working fine without them, but it seems like the only option.

Here is my xorg.conf:
Code:
Section "ServerLayout"
    Identifier     "Layout0"
    Screen      0  "Screen0"
    InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
    InputDevice    "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
EndSection

Section "Files"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
    # generated from default
    Identifier     "Mouse0"
    Driver         "mouse"
    Option         "Protocol" "auto"
    Option         "Device" "/dev/psaux"
    Option         "Emulate3Buttons" "no"
    Option         "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
    # generated from default
    Identifier     "Keyboard0"
    Driver         "kbd"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
    Identifier     "Monitor0"
    VendorName     "Unknown"
    ModelName      "Unknown"
    HorizSync       28.0 - 33.0
    VertRefresh     43.0 - 72.0
    Option         "DPMS"
EndSection

Section "Device"
    Identifier     "Device0"
    Driver         "nvidia"
    VendorName     "NVIDIA Corporation"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
    Identifier     "Screen0"
    Device         "Device0"
    Monitor        "Monitor0"
    DefaultDepth    24
    SubSection     "Display"
        Depth       24
    EndSubSection
EndSection

Section "ServerFlags"
	Option "AutoAddDevices" "False"
	Option "AllowEmptyInput" "False"
EndSection
Do you guys have any ideas?

(This is on my sig rig, which is incredibly fickle when it comes to linux. Ubuntu can't even handle it yet...)

Is there any output, or does it completely freeze and need a hard reboot?

It loads xterm just fine in the proper resolution. However, it doesn't respond to any input. I'm guessing this is because its not detecting the keyboard or mouse.
