nvidia driver

Hye everyone,

I just install arch linux with the 2.6.35 nucleus.

I install xorg with pacman and try to make Openbox work.
Thus, as I have a nvidia I have to install the driver.

lspci grep | grep VGA :
VGA compatible controller : nVidia Corporation G92 [GeForce 9800 GT] (rev a2)

I found this tutorial http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NVIDIA and everything was ok.
So I download the driver and compute nvidia-xconfig.
Unfortunately when I try startx I have this errors :

FATAL : Error inserting nvidia (/lib/modules/2.6.35-ARCH/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia.ko) : No such device
I don't really understand what it means

Does I have to do something more with xorg or anything else before installing nvidia driver?
Does anyone have a clue?
