startx command having errors

I put exec i3 into the ≈/.xinitrc, file, saved the file then ran the startx command and instead of opening a window with a cursor, it showed me all these errors, why?

You're going to need to share the xorg log if you want anyone to be able to help you.

Copy and paste it to a pastebin or something.

Install pastebinit and pastebin it
Code: [Select]
pacman -S pastebinit
cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | pastebinit -b paste.debian.net
Then post the link

At the very least take photo's straight at the screen. Not a 45 degree angle.

I'm not considering you stupid or anything else.
I just can't make out what it says in the photo's without straining my eyes so I don't look.

You could also save the log to a file. Transfer to a USB. Or transfer it over the network.

But if you insist on photo's do your level best to get the best quality possible.

That's a CPU not GPU. It looks like you have a nvidia card though judging from the xorg logs. I presume you haven't installed the correct drivers for your hardware. See the arch wiki for it.
