[SOLVED] Resolution problem with Arch

Sbrizzu · 12-19-2011, 02:53 PM

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
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Table_of_Contents

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php...allation_Guide

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

Nope, an NVIDIA one
