Cannot start Gnome desktop environment!

Yesterday, I installed arch linux, and start the gnome DE.
This afternoon, I reinstall arch linux, But cannot start gnome correctly.
I installed xorg, gnome, gnome-extra, nvidia packges, when I run startx, It appears:

xauth:  creating new authority file /root/.serverauth.2317

X.Org X Server 1.6.3
Release Date: 2009-7-31
X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0

    Before reporting problems, check http://wiki.x.org
    to make sure that you have the latest version.

(EE) Failed to load module "dri2" (loader failed, 7)

waiting for X server to shut down .

But I found these 2 files are correctly at there:

ls -l /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/

total 1880

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root   29844 2009-08-02 03:41 librecord.so

I tried several times, the same result.
What's the matter?  did xorg or nvidia update in this short time ???

Re: Cannot start Gnome desktop environment!

Install gdm and login with that, not with startx.

Reinstall xorg, nvidia, nvidia-utils.

Make sure you say "yes" when it says that it will remove "libgl"

Re: Cannot start Gnome desktop environment!

I has like this problem and solve by running nvidia-xconfig and after in /etc/X11/xorg.conf file commenting lines with load "dri" or load "dri2" also lines with Type1 in module or file section
