Re: Error with NOVIDEO (nvidia)

Undo that.
Then see https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/LightD … TTY_output and https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA#Early_loading and if things still dont work, boot the multi-user.target (2nd link below) and post a complete system journal (sudo journalctl -b | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st) and xorg log, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Xorg#General - you can likewise "cat" it into the curl command you used for the journal.
