Check out this awesome glitchy video
Any ideas on why this is happening?
Thanks! I don't think I got it installed in time for the penguin :-(
EDIT, because I forgot to list information:
Video card:
05:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI RV710 [Radeon HD 4350]
Video Driver:
xf86-video-ati

XFCE4
If you would like to know anything else, let me know!

Without stating, which video card and driver you are using, one can only guess.

xf86-video-ati, oops! Sorry, didn't think of listing that, I added desktop environment and videocard retrieved from lspci

Try catalyst-legacy.

Dear god... I just spent the last hour trying to install the catalyst-legacy driver.
I need to write a full tutorial sometime maybe, but this is important:
pacman -Rns $(pacman -Qsq xf86-video)
#will remove every open source video driver installed
We don't want to follow the wiki because it's outdated, instead of installing the "catalyst" package, we want to use "catalyst-hook" (or catalyst-daemon I suppose).
This is because of licensing issues with AMD or something?
Then we run this to make the xorg.conf contain ATI stuff:
sudo aticonfig --initial
So, I was able to reboot and everything seemed to load fine, however when I try to start TF2 I now get:
And I got rid of that by installing lib32-catalyst-utils, whew!
TF2 is working fine now!

@uberscientist, I don't have an ATI card, but I recall having this problem with my nvidia drivers.
I had to install the 32bit version of the drivers, Steam and it's games are 32-bit on Linux I think. Is there such a thing as 32bit libraries for your catalyst driver?

It's working fine now, thanks everyone! And yes, I just had to install "lib32-catalyst-utils"
