[arch-general] startx failed: modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'nvidia': Operation not permitted

[Csányi Pál]

Hi,

well, I'm lost totally here.
I don't know how to start my X Window system with proprietary Nvidia driver.
I must to use it because an application needs it.

I tried in the Xwrapper.config the 'needs_root_rights = no',
I tried to remove ~/.xinitrc to start X with defaults,
I tried the '30-nvidia.conf' with
Section "Device"
  Identifier "Nvidia Card"
  Driver "nvidia"
  VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation"
  Option "NoLogo" "True"
EndSection

but just can't to start X Window system with
'startx' command.

I have installed:
kernel version: 3.14.31-1-lts
nvidia-304xx-lts
nvidia-304xx-libgl
nvidia-304xx-utils

I look into '~/.local/share/xorg/Xorg.0.log'
and see that that Xorg even not see the nvidia driver!?

Xorg tries to load other modules but nvidia not, and finally gives the
following error message:
'No drivers available
Fatal server error:
no screens found(EE)

Please, help me to solve this problem.
