Hello everyone, I've just installed arch according to the wiki's beginner's guide. After installed Xorg(xorg-server, xorg-utils and xorg-xinit) and video driver using pacman I also installed xfce and xfce-goodies package. The problem is that after I "startxfce4" the GUI comes out but display improperly. There is a black bar in the bottom and the whole GUI seems moved up. I don't know how to describe it precisely so I put a image below:

I remembered when I test X using "startx" before install xfce4, there was also a similar black bar over there. So I think the problem is with xorg but I don't know how to fix this. I tried to search but didn't find a solution.
I tried to use
# Xorg :0 -configure
and
nvidia-xconfig
to generate a config file, but either causes the "startxfce4" failed.
lspci | grep -i vga
output(I post this in ubuntu):

I have two graphics cards on my laptop, and the video driver I installed is vesa and nvidia. Let me know if you need any further info, thanks.

You should post your X11 log file.

Thanks for the reply. It turned out that I installed the wrong driver for my graphic card. After installing the xf86-video-intel driver everything so far works just fine. In the future I might install bumblebee or something else to manage them.
