Re: Xorg 1.8 - nvidia 96xx legacy driver

Installed the nouveau driver (+ nouveau-dri) following archlinux wiki' s instructions. Changed xorg.conf (added "nouveau" in the device section, commented "nv" and rebooted.
After reboot  I now have a black screen with only  a cursor. What to do to get my desktop back?

I have the same problem, launching Xorg gives me a black screen with a cursor.  I added the nouveau comment in the 10-monitor.conf file just like the wiki said...
