Pacman-ss Xf86-video | Less

To install the video driver:

• Vesa

Pacman-s Xf86-video-vesa

VESA is a general-purpose driver that supports most graphics cards and does not provide any 3D acceleration features.
To get the most out of your graphics card performance, install the driver by following the table below. It is recommended to use the open source driver first, which is less likely to drive problems.

• Amd/ati:

Pacman-s Xf86-video-ati

• Intel:

Pacman-s Xf86-video-intel

• Nvidia:

Pacman-s Xf86-video-nouveau

Running

• Display Manager:
  The simplest approach is to use a login manager such as GDM, KDM or SLiM.

• Manually:
  If you do not use the login manager to start X, you need to install the package xorg-xinit.

pacman -s xorg-xinitpacman -s xorg-twm xorg-xclock xterm 

startx and Xinit commands will start the X server and the client (StartX script is the front end of the more General Command Xinit). In order to determine which client to run, startx/xinit resolves the ~/.xinitrc file in the user directory first, and if ~/.XINITRC does not exist, uses the default/ETC/X11/XINIT/XINITRC, where the Twm window manager is used by default. Xclock and Xterm (need to install XORG-TWM, Xorg-xclock and Xterm).

• To launch the X server and clients:

StartX
