          A speculative answer given the brevity of the question.



          A very recent thread in Arch Linux reported the same error.



          Therefore two suggestions to try:





          1. Remove your xorg.conf file - I'm making the assumption you have one defined.



            sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup


          2. reboot



          If this doesnt work, you can revert using:



          sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup /etc/X11/xorg.conf


          Suggestion 2:





          1. Look at the contents of your xorg.conf file and change the AccelMethod value to "glamor"



            sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
