I have installed i3wm on my endeavourOS pc with intel graphics. When I try to start an application the window glitches out and is not loaded fully until I refresh the window by moving the mouse. Here is the neofetch output https://imgur.com/a/Tg5ZACY
Can we see the output from inxi -Fxxxz? neofetch isn’t detailed enough to be useful.
Also, please don’t post it as an image. Instead, copy and paste the text here inside a code block.

neofetch is showing plasma Dwesktop (kwin) is i3 installed together with KDE? or is it a fresh install only with i3-setup?
I am using kde plasma so i3wm is installed after the os installation. I cant provide you with neofetch on i3 because the windows dont load. I have i3 and kde installed
Can you share the inxi information requested? We need to see more detailed info to properly troubleshoot.

i3 using setup from EndeavourOS? as it is using DEX what could cause issues if a DE is installed as it will load parts of the DE into i3… you need to uninstall dex or yset it up to not intrerfere with the DE aurtostarters from /etc/xdg/autostart
I have installed i3 using sudo pacman -Syu i3. Uninstalling dex doesnt help
They installed EOS KDE and then pulled arch i3 in on top of it.

You should remove all those extra X11 drivers.
xf86-video-fbdev
xf86-video-intel
xf86-video-vesa
Also, can we see your X11 config?
I only have these files in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d:
10-quirks.conf
30-touchpad.conf
40-libinput.conf
I also got this in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d
00-keyboard.conf
I dont seem to have the packages that you say above
How did you get the inxi output?
As you said earlier, I typed inxi -Fxxxz in the terminal
