did you install the nvidia driver?  if so, it's probably an issue that occurs with that sometimes.  exit out of the X environment and run at command line:

pacman -Sf nvidia

Re: xgl

works for me:

[mark@einsiedler ~]$ startxgl --help
Usage: startxgl [display number] [window manager] [gfx]

  Command line arguments are optional.
  Default [display number] is 1.
  [window manager] can be: 'gnome', 'xfce' (no session), 'xfce-svn' (no session), or 'xfce-session'. Default is 'gnome'.
  [gfx] values are 'ati', 'nvidia' or 'other'. Default is 'other'.

here's my version:

[mark@einsiedler ~]$ pacman -Q xgl-cvs
xgl-cvs 20060322-1

Re: xgl

--help may not give options in xgl-cvs 2006215, you should try updating it (pacman -Sy xgl-cvs - you'll need to have shadowhand in your pacman.conf).

either way, i included the output of my --help command which should help you put together a proper startxgl line.  i use, for example:

$ startxgl 1 gnome nvidia

excuse me: shadowhand... what means? I don't speak english very well.
is it means about repository?. If yes, how about repository?
thanks at all

Re: xgl

Yeah, he's talking about a repository detailed here.

Add to /etc/pacman.conf:

[shadowhand]
Server = http://arch.os-zen.net/pkg/shadowhand
