Most games won't launch.

Hello! I have tried playing two games on Arch, and they both crash immediately for a similar reason, both talking about GLX. I have tried Minecraft and Teeworlds, here is the error logs for both:

Minecraft: http://pastebin.com/vzHd9bBr
Teeworlds: http://pastebin.com/EpMYBuzd

I have the nvidia drivers, and I think I installed these (possibly) related packages:
nvidia
lib32-nvidia-libgl
opencl-nvidia

Also, I don't know if this would be better to put in the Newbie Corner.

which nvidia graphics card do you have in your system?

GeForce GTX 765M I think.

show us the output of lspci -v in relation to your graphics card (particularly the "Kernel driver in use" part) if it says nouveau something went wrong with your nvidia driver installation, try reinstalling them, if that doesn't fix it try blacklisting nouveau (prohibit the kernel from loading it on boot) which is done from /etc/modprobe.d/filename.conf

If you have switchable graphics (optimus) you probably need to do a bit more work than just installing the drivers. Read up and make sure to look into bumblebee.

It sounds to me like the problem is that glx isn't being properly initiated, look into nvidia-settings and see what it has to say about opengl information (is Direct Rendering enabled and what versions of GL are supported?)

I do indeed have Optimus.

I tried following the directions at the link you gave me, and when I run "lscpi | grep VGA" it gives me information about my Intel chip:
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 06)

Also, when I run nvidia-settings I get a Segmentation Fault error.

tell me what they say about GLX. Saying they both talk about it won't help much.

Arch Linux
