Hi,
i just installed arch on my desktop. I enabled kdm service to start kde at boot, but I just get a blinking cursor. From another terminal I can log to console, stop kdm service and start it manually successfully.
I tried both with no xorg.conf file (only the default if there is any from installation) and with a file automatically generated by nvidia-settings. No difference in any case.
When it fails I get:
systemctl status kdm -l

After reading this post I decided to install nvidia-304xx drivers. My system now works normally, but I'd like to install normal nvidia drivers (just a version that works, I think 325.15 was the previous one). Do you know were can I get them?
Thank you!

You can probably find a package corresponding to the version of the nvidia driver you want in your /var/cache/pacman directory. If you don't find it, you can have a look in the Arch Rollback Machine. Please note that dependencies required by an older nvidia driver are likely to be a pain to manage and will somehow require that you freeze part of your installation (like kernel version, etc).
Alternatively, you can just recompile the nvidia drivers by using the Arch Build System, see here.
All you have to do is to retrieve the PKGUILD and its associated files corresponding to the version you would like to compile, see here (direct link to tarball). Once the package is built, it will integrate nicely into your installation.

I used the ARM and worked, just needed to install 3 packages at the same time: nvidia nvidia-utils and nvidia-libgl.
In the nvidia package page there is a bug report about this issue. Looks like I decided to reinstall my box the same exact day that the nvidia package was upgraded so I did not notice that I was upgrading my package.
Others with the same problem can just go to this post
