Good Morning,
I have a Laptop Asus, my laptop was working OK until yesterday (the driver that i installed was xf86-video-intel); but after an update yesterday (pacman -Syyuu), the laptop screen is wrong. In the setup it seems OK (1366x768 683.384), but the screen appears more bigger than it is, as if it doesn't fit on the screen. I tried install mesa and mesa-demos and xf86-video-intel but it didn't solve it error, even I installed a earlier version of driver but it didn't work (pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/xf86-video-intel-old-version). I don't know what to do and i don't reinstall Arch or worst Debian. Helpl!, thanks so much

Is there a reason you are using that driver for Intel? If not, you might just try uninstalling it.

As I read in the documentation, this is the one to use for Intel. Is there an alternative? I am using KDE-Plasma. My Laptop worked fine until yesterday with this driver, after updating the error came.

Actually read the link ewaller posted, the kernel's native modesetting is invariably better than the intel driver.
Also, you don't include any information in your post about what was updated: no-one here can guess what you have installed...

Ok thanks, I updated the system with [pacman -Syyuu] command, I use kernel LTS for greater stability, my laptop had been working fine for several months. is it an error to use kernel LTS?

LTS is fine. The Intel driver has a reputation for being buggy. Most people are much more happy with the default driver. There are a couple use cases for the Intel driver, but they are the exception.
Edit: and stop using the yy switch for Pacman. It is an abuse of server bandwidth and provides no benefit except in recovering from database corruption. I do not know who is recommending this, but I really wish they would stop.
And, do you know what the uu switch does? Is that what you want?

That isn't a list of packages... Please paste the full pacman.log

already I install arch again,I couldn't solve it, I don't install xf86-video-intel as you recommended me. How are the non-LTS kernels ?, very unstable?, I can easily break the system again with non-LTS kernel?

You are using the wrong distro. Install Debian if you aren't willing to solve simple issues.

Already I solved it, I reinstalled Archlinux without your help (jasonwryan), I also know to install Debian don't worry. Thanks Administrator, i didn't instal the driver xf86-video-intel and Archlinux is working fine
