It works and I have now the same console resolution as I had before
with nouveau driver.

I modified the switching script that switch nvidia driver from nouveau
to nvidia and this script works:
[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 lib32-nvidia-304xx-libgl

mkinitcpio -p linux

reboot
[/code]

Of course, one must to changes this script if she/he has different
linux kernel installed.
