startx = Failed to load module "record"

Hi to everyone, this is the first time i try to install arch and im having problems with X.
I have an nvidia fx5200 card and i installed the nvidia driver with pacman -S nvidia
I noticed that when i did that i uninstalled the package libgl.
I have all the repos unquoted and i also have the kde-unstable since im trying to get kde 4.1.85

I have generated the xorg.conf with nvidia-xconfig, hwd -x and renaming it and with xorgconfig, all with no results yet.
I know i should post my xorg.conf and the startx log error but i dont know how to do that from a command line,
my error is basically this:

#startx
...
(EE) Failed to load module "record" (module does not exist, 0)
(EE) No devices detected

Fatal server error:
No screens found

I would really appreciate any help

Re: startx = Failed to load module "record"

pacman -S  nvidia-173xx

hwd -x (rename)

Edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Load           "type1" (remove this line)
Driver "nvidia" (instead of "nv" or "vesa")
