Hello.
I tried searching forums for a similar problem, but nothing helped yet.
I have an NVidia GeForce 9500 GT card.
Normal installation of Arch with vesa and configured through hwd works great.
But every time I install nvidia or nvidia-beta, it works just once (hoses after reboot) if I manually edit xorg.conf or write it from scratch and not at all if I try nvidia-xconfig.
The errors are:
No devices detected. for starting X.
No Xserver installed!! for running hwd -xa.
Reinstalling/rebuilding kernel/nvidia/xorg in any order doesn't help, but a clean Arch install does.
Several other distros work, but I use Arch on my other computers and I am more comfortable with it.
What am I doing wrong?

Some few questions for you:
1) Have you followed the wiki's beginners guide/nvidia's drivers guide ?
2) What Is the output of 'cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log' ?
3) Have you edited the '/etc/X11/xorg.conf' manually ? (this is, how did you intalled/configured the xorg)
If people do not believe that mathematics is simple, it is only because they do not realize how complicated life is.
Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.

Hey!
Thanks a bunch for the reply.
This is the machine with three cards, so I added a BusID value and it worked.
Sorry.
