[solved] Installation with Proprietary Nvidia Drivers?

I just have a quick question before I begin my install.  In the beginners guide for installing Arch I see that you eventually come to a section about installing X in which you are told to install drivers for graphics cards.  If I want to use a proprietary driver do I just skip down to the directions below about proprietary drivers and then once complete go back up to where you left off (Configure X)?

All help is appreciated...

Welcome to the forums echoes73.

nVidia has a great xorg.conf configuration script (nvidia-xconfig), so I would install the drivers first, and use it to configure X.
