[SOLVED]Screen displays improperly

Hello everyone, I've just installed arch according to the wiki's beginner's guide. After installed Xorg(xorg-server, xorg-utils and xorg-xinit) and video driver using pacman I also installed xfce and xfce-goodies package. The problem is that after I "startxfce4" the GUI comes out but display improperly. There is a black bar in the bottom and the whole GUI seems moved up. I don't know how to describe it precisely so I put a image below:

I remembered when I test X using "startx" before install xfce4, there was also a similar black bar over there. So I think the problem is with xorg but I don't know how to fix this. I tried to search but didn't find a solution.
I tried to use
# Xorg :0 -configure
  and
nvidia-xconfig
to generate a config file, but either causes the "startxfce4" failed.
lspci | grep -i vga

I have two graphics cards on my laptop, and the video driver I installed is vesa and nvidia. Let me know if you need any further info, thanks.

Thanks for the reply. It turned out that I installed the wrong driver for my graphic card. After installing the xf86-video-intel driver everything so far works just fine. In the future I might install bumblebee or something else to manage them.

  • On screen display and FN+ buttons don't work after format

    I formatted my entire HDD and re-installed windows 7 pro. After doing the format and re-install the on screen display doesn't show up when I adjust volume or enable/disable caps lock like it did previously before I re-installed. I've installed the hotkey driver, on screen display, display interface driver, ran the Lenovo update utility several times, installed all windows updates. Is there somewhere where I have to enable OSD (on screen display)? I am sure this is just something small that I am overlooking but if anyone has any help please let me know! sorry if this has been posted already, I tried searching before making a post but didn't have any luck.

  • Brand new Thinkstation D10 server fails to boot, no beeps or screen display

    This server had been working fine for several weeks and today I needed to reboot it. It has been rebooted several times before so so I wasn't trying something new.   I hit the Vista Start button and it immediately shut down.  I couldn't recall if Vista prompts you to Stand-by/restart/shutdown but I think it does - this time it didn't. :/   Afterwards, it would not boot.  
    I tried: 
    Unplugging and replugging it in: it then attempted to boot but shut itself down again after about 30s. 
    a Power Supply Reset 
    Reseating the memory cards
    Removing one of the 4GB memory cards
    Trying the other memory card
    Swapping the two memory cards 
    Inserting a bootable disk (it never gets to the point of reading anything although the drive spins up)
    Checking that everything in the system board was plugged in
    Making sure none of the wires were hitting anything else (shorting out)
    When replacing that annoying cover from over the memory cards, made sure again I was not pinching any wires
    The server does not beep and the (directly connected) monitor never comes alive to display anything when I attempt to reboot. 
    Per the docs, I observed the power supply Diagnostic LEDs and front panel Power LED while attempting to boot and only the green Diagnostic LED on the power supply is ever activated.  The table indicated this means replace the system board.   
    Aack!
    Before I head for the support # and an eventual shipment back to Lenovo, would it be worth my while to try and replace the CMOS battery?  Or would a failure of that battery still have resulted in some indication of the problem (beeping and/or screen display)?  Can anyone think of something else to check?
    Just thought I'd ask around before assuming that I'm stuck with the system board diagnosis).
    Thanks

    The list of things that will make a computer power down on it's own before it can ever get into the OS or initiate a video feed is a short list.
    A CPU thermal trip usually occurs within 30 seconds.  This can be cause by a loose or improperly seated heat sink or a failure in the thermal grease coverage.  If your D10 arrived with one CPU and you recently installed a second CPU, try taking the second CPU out.  Should this work, verify the second CPU is the exact match to the first CPU and that the thermal grease is properly applied to the heat sink and the heat sink is securely mounted. 
    Ambient temperature thermal trip usually takes longer, but can be significantly shorten if the air baffle for the memory is not installed.  Computers with high Front Side Bus frequencies result in memory DIMMS that get very hot.
    DC power trip.  This can happen if too much power is being drawn through any of the PCI ports or through the power supply itself. 
    When you are using a highend video card, check to see if the video card has it's own power connector(a small six lead box).  If it does, there is a power connector, from the power supply, to plug into it.  Without that power plugged in, the video card may appear to hum, and the it will draw too much power through the PCI slot. 
    Should you have added any additional PCI adapters, try removing these for a test. If that works, add one card back in at a time to isolate the offending PCI card.
    Disconnect any USB or Firewire devices you may have attached, including the mouse and keyboard.  If it comes back up and you have video, power down and reconnect the keyboard and mouse only and try again.
    If you have the memory card reader option and kids, check to make certain no one has inserted something into the memory card readers.  My kid inserted a quarter into one of the slots on my reader.  My workstation powered down pretty fast.   Consider moving the workstation to higher ground.
    Last by not least, disconnect any additional optical drives you may have added.  Some SATA devices have both the standard PC power connector and the SATA power connector.  Do not connect both of these power sources to the same drive.  The drive will be damaged and your computer will not stay powered on for very long.
    Should this all fail to resolve the issue, contact Lenovo support.  To make your support experience faster and more pleasurable, send them this list of things you tried.  If this list of possible fixes fails, it's probably a power supply or system board issue, and I would start with the power supply.
    If an electronic device has a defect it will fail within the first 90 days.  Once you get it past the first 90 days, it is generally good for years.
    I hope this helps!!!

  • External monitor works only works when laptop screen displays

    Hi there, I just connected a different (newer, but not brand new) external monitor to my T61.  When I toggle screens (fn-f7) the external display gets no signal in the 'external display only' position, but displays beautifully in the 'both' position.  This never happened with my old monitor.  I would like to use the external display and not have the laptop screen display.  Any ideas? Many thanks, Ellen

    After connecting external monitor, press win key+p and thrn choose projector only.

  • T500 on screen display not working

    I searched, but have not found any other posts with this problem.
    I re-loaded Windows Vista 64 on a new hard drive, and have re-installed all drivers.  I installed the hotkey driver for on screen display, and the tab appears correctly in the advanced display properties.
    The on-screen display was working properly with the default Vista driver, but once I installed the dual graphics drivers, the on-screen display has become about 2 pixels high, just above the windows task bar. I tried changing the font and size and color in the setup tab, but this doesn't fix it.  I have uninstalled and re-installed the hotkey driver, and also the display drivers.
    Any ideas for this strange one?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Thank you! That did it!  For others benefit, here are the instructions from the earlier thread:
    There is a bug, so the size isn't really set, and you don't see anything. That's why you have to edit the size in windows registry editor. Click Start -> RUN-> type "regedit" BE CAREFULL with this tool! Press CTRL+F .... and find "OnScreenDisplay" Whole path will be: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\IBM\TPHOTKEY\OnScreenDisplay Change "Size" value from "00 00 00 00" to "00 01 10 10" (right click on "Size" -> select Modify Binary data). Close Registry Editor. That's it.
    My on screen display driver is the latest.  I am using Vista Business 64 bit, so maybe the driver for 64 bit has not been fixed yet.
    Thanks again!

  • How to solve screen resolution in bdc

    hi experts,
    please tell me how to solve screen resolution in bdc.
    regards.
    subhasis

    Hi,
    <b>Pls check other posts in SDN before posting ur thread..there is same thread related to this on this forum on same day.</b>
    Screen resolution means different in the screen display depending on ur system screen resolution.
    suppose ur system resolution is diff and another's system is different then like in Tcode VA01, there will be 3 lineitems and another there will be 5 lineitems ,
    so while doing recording and page down that will bw diff so there will be some problem
    So u have to set the screen resolution as default by using CTU parameters..
    write this code then
    f_option-updmode = 'S'.
    f_option-defsize = 'X'.* f
    _option-dismode = 'N'.
    *call transaction 'VA01' using bdcdata options from f_option messages into bdcerror.
    Hope it helps.

  • ThinkPad Hotkey Features Integration 3.89.0000 On Screen Display and Mute Button Fail

    I am installing updates on a T400 system running WIndows 7 Pro 64-bit.
    The system has been freshly factory restored and all features work properly...
    After running System Restore to update to the latest drivers and recommended software, I find Thinkpad Hotkey Features Integration 3.89.0000 breaks features.
    I am able to use Hotkeys to change brightness up/down, Fn+F5, Fn+F6, etc. The volume up and down keys work to change volume. The mute button does not work at all! There is no On Screen Display to show the adjustment settings for any Hotkeys.
    I have found that installing the older 3.88.0000 (8jvu40ww.exe) version of ThinkPad Hotkey Features Integration works successfully with mute button functionality as well as the On Screen Display features.
    Comparing what is different between the 3.89.0000 and 3.88.0000 versions, I find On Screen Display version and Full Screen Magnifier have advanced. The version information table at the bottom of the software download page is inconsistent compared to what is actually reported from the 3.88.0000 setup.exe:
    Setup shows:
    On Screen Display 6.71.00
    Full Screen Magnifier 2.40
    The table shows:
    On Screen Display 6.72.00
    Full Screen Magnifier 2.41
    The System Interface Driver is 1.05 on all the recent versions.
    With the 3.89.0000 version installed, I cannot uninstall and go back to the older version to get it working. Instead, I have to do a System Restore to a point previous to the newest install... something changes in the new version but I am not yet sure what.
    I have no warranty on this system. Lenovo technical support is unwilling to entertain a conversation about solving this issue with their software unless I purchase a support package. Perhaps someone from Lenovo reads this forum and/or one of the community members has a contact or option so that I may report the issue to those who are responsible for resolving Lenovo software issues. I am hopeful they can solve it in their next release so that I do not have to hide the current version from System Update.
    If anyone has ideas on what causes the latest On Screen Display or Full Screen Magnifier to disable the mute button and prevent On Screen Display from working... I would love to try and solve that problem. Additionally, if you have ideas on what prevents uninstalling and going back to an older version, that would also be helpful as I would not like to rely on System Restore.
    If there is no solution other than to avoid 3.89.0000 it is what I will do and this message will help others so they do not spend hours to confirm the issue is with the 3.89.0000 version rather than suspecting hardware issues.
     trying to figure out the source of the trouble.
    Thank goodness Lenovo offers previous versions in a table at the bottom of the pages so we can try older versions and go back to what works. It is a shame they do not advertise a link or other option to report bugs and issues with Lenovo software/drivers directly.

    This is the roulette you play with updating functions that are already working properly.
    If it's not broken, don't fix it. Do the release notes describe a fix or enhancement that you want? No? Then leave it alone. Hiding updates in Lenovo Update is the easiest solution.  For RChesley, in this case.
    Bob, I realize that you want the function that the update is supposed to deliver, but the update has failed you.  It's like installing version 1.0.0 of software sometimes, with Lenovo Update.  You're never quite sure what you're going to get.  There's tons of posts here that read as though the users are beta testers--installing updates and finding the bugs!  So the developers can go back to the code and try again. 
    I've learned to never be an early adopter here.

    Solved! Tried everything in the support documents and none of it worked. Massive frustration with Adobe Chat staff who know nothing and just kept telling me to look at the support documents over and over. They also gave me a contact number in Australia that has a recorde d message saying the product is not supported! What is that about?
    Finally Anand from Adobe tech support called me (from when I reopened the original support case that gave me the serial number).
