I've done fresh system install on my desktop and now KDM doesn't starts at boot. But when I run it in console manually via "sudo systemctl restart kdm" it starts flawlessly. There are no any useful information in logs. The Xorg.0.log contains only message, that nvidia module initialization failed.

Did you enable kdm?
$ sudo systemctl enable kdmif enabled but not autostarting, whats kdm's systemd status?

Thanks for the link, I didn't find it by myself. I've made workaround of my problem by adding nvidia to MODULES in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf. But this is only workaround. Should I mark the topic as solved?
