StartX Failing With NVidia Proprietary Drivers

Hello I'm a new Arch user and I was trying to install Arch following the beginners guide but no-matter what I do I cannot start X and KDM. The startx command gives me the following error.

[   133.700] (WW) NVIDIA: This server has an unsupported input driver ABI version (have 19.1, need < 19.0).  The driver will continue to load, but may behave strangely.
