Hi,

on a fresh install of arch linux I have first installed the nouveau
video driver.

Then I realise I must install the nvidia driver because one
application doesnÍt work without it.

I have linux kernel 3.14.31.-1-lts installed.
My videocard is GeForce 7600 GT so I installed the
nvidia-304xx-libgl
nvidia-304xx-lts
nvidia-304xx-utils

I created the configuration file for X Window system:
Section "Device"
   Identifier "Nvidia Card"
   Driver "nvidia"
   VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation"
EndSection

In /etc/mkinitcpio.conf I have commented the line:
#MODULES="nouveau"

But, when I start X with 'startx' command, I get the error mentioned
in subject of this mail.

What am I missing here?
