X wont start with nvidia driver?

Hi, installed x and it runs fine with the xf86-video-nv driver but when trying to install the fine "nvidia" driver X wont start, have followed the wiki but errors appears:
-------
Failed to load the Nvidia kernel module
Screens found, but none have a usuable configuration
Fatal Server Error
No screens found
Giving up
Xinit: no such file or directory...
-------

Writing this post from lynx so it might look kinda bad without BB code...=)

Also did a new installation.
1. Updated the system (Pacman -Syu)
2. Installed Xorg (Pacman -S xorg)
3. Installed nvidia driver (Pacman -S nvidia) Have a Quadro FX570M.
4. Tried both X -configure and nvidia-xconfig and then followed the wiki changed any mesa, nv to nvidia. Also removed the Type1 entry.
5. moved the xorg file cp xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf

What have I missed? It's kinda hard to copy my xorg.conf file here using lynx and have no other computer here at the moment, might be able to post the file later on today!

Re: X wont start with nvidia driver?

you might want to look at:
Failed to load the Nvidia kernel module

that might be a clue
what happens when you do
modprobe nvidia
