Resolution problem with Arch
 
I've installed arch on my mac mini, then I installed the nvidia drivers, and then two desktop environments: e17 and awesome. The nvidia drivers are working well, but the "menu bar" of all the programs like chromium or arduino ide don't work, they are veery big! It's a very strange thing, all the other things are working well, but not the menu bar nor the other not-mainly-window things, like the window that shows the link to the website. Please help and sorry for my bad english :)

The only thing I can think of: did you let the NVidia installer write an xorg.conf? If not, try running nvidia-xconfig (shut down X first).

I already did it, but it didn't work

i would go back over the Arch install documentation and see if something was missed

You need to install EVERYTHING that is needed manually in arch

also make SURE that all the needed daemons are set and in the CORRECT order

Solved, thank you all, I didn't link it with a font problem :) I'm a little stupid... I changed my xorg conf adding:
Code:

Option "DPI" "96 x 96"

In the "Monitor" section!

so you have a ATI card in the computer
setting the dpi is a normal everyday bug
