I had the exact same issue. I played around so much I don't know /exactly/ what helped but the following might: 1) restart hald, devd, the computer 2) use xf86-video-nv 3) run X -configure again 4) recompile xorg-server 5) These same steps in a different order. Someone mentioned that I installed xorg after nvidia-driver which messed up some symlink or another. As far as I could tell this is not true. -- Eitan Adler "Security is increased by designing for the way humans actually behave." -Jakob Nielsen
