Re: [SOLVED]nouveau driver with Archlinux xfce4 dektop Cause no icons

i remove the xorg package
with this command

pacman -Rnc xorg lib32-mesa

and add nouveau to the MODULES array in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf

MODULES="nouveau"
mkinitcpio -p linux 
pacman -S --needed xorg xfce4 xfce4-goodies

and reboot
the xfce4 desktop work 
i note that is a probleme of graphic driver who cause the xfce4 failure
and now xfce4 work perfectly
