[Solved] Nvidia module fails to load on lastest kernel (3.6.7-1-ARCH)

Hi there!

I have just updated my desktop PC yesterday, as I normally do every week (yaourt -Syu --aur), and today when I rebooted my Xorg refuses to load.
I've checked the logs, etc, and I think there's a problem with the nvidia module. In fact, I can't even modprobe it.
I've googled for hours, but I can't find any solution out there...

Here you have the log: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/1732176/Xorg.0.log

Any hint will be appreciated...

Thanks in advance ^^

[    24.672] (EE) NVIDIA: Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module. Please check your
[    24.672] (EE) NVIDIA:     system's kernel log for additional error messages.

Perhaps you should look at dmesg.

Thanks!
Looking there I found:

[    5.371106] NVRM: The NVIDIA GeForce 7100 / nForce 630i GPU installed in this system is
NVRM:  supported through the NVIDIA 304.xx Legacy drivers. Please
NVRM:  visit http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html for more
NVRM:  information.  The 310.19 NVIDIA driver will ignore
NVRM:  this GPU.  Continuing probe...

I'll try to pacman those drivers and check again...

[EDIT]

Yeehaa!
It works! ^^

Thank you so much big_smile
