Hello.
I've encountered a problem while installing my Xorg server, which I'd like to use with KDE.
Here's the track of my xorg installation:
# sudo pacman -Syu
# sudo pacman -S xorg(my graphic card is vVidia GeForce 8600 GT)
# sudo pacman -S nvidia-96xx nvidia-96xx-utils
# sudo nvidia-xconfig(that's where I wanted to check if I did everything right)
#sudo startx
Xorg started loading and after a few secs it printed such output:
...
NVIDIA: could not open the devie file /dev/nvidia0 (Input/output error).
(EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the NVIDIA graphics device PCI:4:0:0.
(EE) NVIDIA(0): Please see the COMMON PROBLEMS section in the README for additional information.
(EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the NVIDIA graphics device!
(EE) NVIDIA(0): *** Aborting ***
(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usabe configuration.Fatal server error:
no screens foundgiving up.
xinit: Connection refused (errno 111): unable to connect to X server
xinit: No such process (errno3): Server error.
What should I do?

You should install nvidia (pacman -Syu nvidia) and avoid using of nvidia-xconfig if it is not necessary.

(my graphic card is vVidia GeForce 8600 GT)
# sudo pacman -S nvidia-96xx nvidia-96xx-utils
# sudo nvidia-xconfig
1. wrong driver. the 96xx driver is for horrible old hardware, like the gf4. Install 'nvidia' and 'nvidia-utils' instead.
2. don't use nvidia-xconfig, it's not needed.
3. reboot after installing the driver if you havn't disabled kms already.

The reboot part Mr.Elendig mentions is important, you can't "just check" immediately after install because it won't work.
Also, please use [ code ] tags and not [ quote ] tags for pasting snippets of code.

Ok, works, thanks.
Problem solved.

sudo startx is usually a very bad idea
