Boot stuck at "reached graphics interface" after running nvidia-xconfi

I got horizontal tearing and was fiddling with display drivers. I followed this section and ran nvidia-xconfig, copy it to 20-nvidia.conf but still stuck on boot. Even after I managed to remove 20-nvidia.conf and uninstall nvidia, I still couldn't boot. Any help ?

xconfig just breaks things, don't use it.

Not an Installation issue, moving to NC...

Yes, lesson learned :'(
But is there any fix other than resinstalling.

What service is supposed to start at graphical.target?  What is the systems xorg.log for the failure?

How did you install Arch?

Ah thank you for trying to help, I found strange debug error messages about mouse and wifi interface so I deleted

/etc/X11/xorg.conf

and it is working now.
