Hi. Being blind I don't use GUI but from time to time I want to show something on the screen to a sighted person. For instance, I ran on my old distro 'xinit xpdf file.pdf' ; Things worked fine because the installer had installed everything for GUI. With arch, I tried to instal some xorg packages but... I get a lot of warnings and errors but don't understand how to solve the problems. Here is ~/.local/share/xorg/Xorg.0.log :begin: [ 639.899] X.Org X Server 1.21.1.23 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0 [ 639.902] Current Operating System: Linux messier31 7.0.12-arch1-1 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Wed, 10 Jun 2026 08:58:02 +0000 x86_64 [ 639.902] Kernel command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-linux root=/dev/nvme0n1p5 [ 639.903] [ 639.903] Current version of pixman: 0.46.4 [ 639.904] Before reporting problems, check http://wiki.x.org to make sure that you have the latest version.
