[arch-general] NV GeForce 7600, nvidia-304xx-lts, but Failed to load module "nvidia"

[Csányi Pál]

Hi,

I'm trying to replace nouveau driver with nvidia-304xx-lts for my
NVIDIA Corporation G73 [GeForce 7600 GT] videocard.

I'm following advices at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Nvidia.

I have installed the linux kernel: core/linux-lts 3.14.21-1.

I modified the script for switching from nouveau to nvidia, like:
[code]
#!/bin/bash
# nouveau -> nvidia
# run as root

set -e

# check if root
if [[ $EUID -ne 0 ]]; then
   echo "You must be root to run this script. Aborting...";
   exit 1;
fi

if [ -e /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/30-nouveau.conf ]
    then rm -v /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/30-nouveau.conf
fi

cp /Adatok/ArchLinuxBeallitasok/30-nvidia.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/

sed -i 's/MODULES="nouveau"/#MODULES="nouveau"/' /etc/mkinitcpio.conf

pacman -Rdds --noconfirm xf86-video-nouveau mesa-libgl lib32-mesa-dri
lib32-mesa-libgl
pacman -S --noconfirm nvidia-304xx-lts lib32-nvidia-304xx-libgl

mkinitcpio -p linux

reboot
[/code]

The 30-nvidia.conf is:
[code]
Section "Device"
        Identifier "Nvidia Card"
        Driver "nvidia"
        VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation"
        Option "NoLogo" "true"
EndSection
[/code]

When I run after reboot and bash login:
$ startx

I get not the X Window system, but error messages.
The /var/log/Xorg.0.log file is:
[log]

What am I missing here? How can I solve this problem?
