Weird DE on Acer Laptop

Hi guys,
I'm installed Arch on Acer Aspire 5715Z which has an intel GM965 video card. I followed the beginners guide, this is not my first installation of Arch, but there is something that I cannot solve. You can see my problems here:

I tried to use hwd -xa but I got several errors on /etc/hwd/pci.hw but anyway it seems to be able to produce a good xorg.conf with 1280x800 screen resolution but with the problems you can see from the images above.
I tried xorgconfigure and X -configure too, but with the same result.
I installed xf86-video-intel and I tried also with i810 but with no luck. Trying with Vesa drivers I'm able to see the screen but at a max resolution of 1024x768 and fonts are not good to see.
Anyone can help me please ? I don't want to install another distro
Thanks
Antonio

uhm.. do you get some weird xorg error too?
I found on the wiki two articles about the intel video card
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Intel_GMA_950
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Intel_GMA_945
have you tried to follow them?
(I have an ATI card so I can't help you very much)

  • How do I install iTunes on my new Windows 8 Acer laptop? Nothing seems to be working

    How do I get iTunes to install on my new Windows 8 Acer laptop? Nothing seems to be working.

    Yes, you can use the staller CD that came with your iPod. It should have all the iPod Updater and iTunes software needed for your iPod and your new computer.
    Also, if you don't have the CD available or you want a different way, you can install iTunes 6.0.5 from Apple's website. See this link for installation:
    Download iTunes 6
    Also, you'll need the iPod Updater software (as I previously mentioned). You can download this from Apple's website on here as well:
    iPod Updater
    iPod Software
    I hope this info solves the issue,

    But you can install any version of Windows or Linux legally on an Apple notebook.  That has to do with license agreements.   You can read all the license agreements for Apple's operating systems here:

    This tip explains how:

    It may be time to sell your Acer, and get an Apple instead.

  • I've burnt a slideshow of my photos onto a DVD disc but it will not play on my DVD player. It plays ok on my acer laptop. I burnt the same disc with slideshow from my old dell computer

    I've burnt a slideshow of my photos on my Apple Mac to a DVD+REW disc but it will not play on my DVD player or on a combined DVD/TV. However it will play on my wife's Acer laptop. I then erased the disc & burned another slideshow from my ancient Dell computer onto the same disc &it played just fine on everything. So it seems the problem ids somewhere in the Apple Mac process. Any ideas?

    If you want to play material on a dedicated DVD Video hardware player, you must create a DVD video disc, and you must use a DVD authoring application.The software creates files that the DVD video player can play and will burn them to a recordable DVD disc. Examples of applications are:
    Roxio Toast and iSky DVD Creator
    Mac's used to be supplied with iDVD authoring software but Apple discontinued it in 2011.
    Thanks for that.  Will need to check iSkysoft out.  I am in the process of looking for a VisualHub replacement/backup.  Especially when it comes to ease of use.  Toast is ok.  Just looking for something along the lines of VH. 

  • Keyboard froze today on my HP pc and on my Acer laptop. both run on Windows 8.1

    Is anyone experiencing a freeze in their keyboard running on Windows 8.1 ? I not seeing a bug on the net that matches my symptoms : the mouse is working good and the PC seems fine but I cannot type anything and number 1 is lid up on the keyboard. Similar issue same day on my Windows 8.1 Acer laptop . I can type my password but as soon as I go to the Google toolbar to search there is no keyboard response at all...

    Hello @tomnata,
    I understand that you are having issues with Windows 8.1 on two different computers where you keyboard freezes up when you click on the Google Toolbar. I am providing you with a WinHelp document: Internet Explorer 11 Troubleshooting that I would like you to review and use to disable the Add-Ons in your browser. If this resolves your issue I would recommend that you uninstall your Add-Ons starting with the Google Toolbar until you find the one that is causing you grief.

  • Cd/Dvd rom in Acer laptop

    I recently bought an Acer laptop but didn't know it didnt come with dvd/cd rom built in to it. How do i go about getting one for it and how much does it cost?

    It will cost you $34.99 to get one. This LG burner on the link I've given has given me many months of use and it still does not have any signs of malfunctioning .

  • Unable to connect wirelessly on an Acer laptop using Vista

    I have a Windows XP connected wirelessly to my Verizon Router M1424WR, but I am unable to connect wirelessly on an Acer laptop using Vista. The Vista can only connect with Ethernet. It will not accept the WEP key.

    #1 Check the level of WEP. Two examples: 64 Bit, 128 Bit.
    #2 And check to be sure, if you use a WEP password of Hex or Ascii.

  • Can my Acer laptop use Time Machine wi-fi?

    Can my Acer laptop use Time Machine wi-fi? Is there some Apple proprietary software
    that prevents me from accessing the security
    enabled wireless network?

    Chances are, your Time Capsule's wireless security settings are using WPA2 Personal encryption, which is a very popular industry standard used by both PC manufacturers and Apple.
    You can confirm this as follows on your MacBook:
    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utillities > AirPort Utility
    Click Manual Setup
    Look for the Wireless Security setting (about half way down the page)
    What setting do you see?
    If your Time Capsule is using WPA2 Personal security, then you would need to check with Acer Support to see if the laptop is capable of connecting to a WPA2 Personal wireless network.
