        I am the same guy who is still struggling with the installation
        of nvidia drivers. Done a nvidia-xconfig after installing
        akmod-nvidia and not rebooting. Below find the read-out. Pray
        this will help someone to aid in the problem of not being able
        to install my nvidia drivers. Thanks in advance.

      P.S. This is the read-out of "startx"

    FWIW, you *could*, as root, drop to runlevel 3, rmmod the nouveau
    drivers, do a "akmods --force" and have the kmod-nvidia driver
    built, then do an lsmod | grep nvidia and see if the nvidia driver
    was modprobed (I think the akmods build will do the modprobe).  If
    you have nvidia in at that point then you should be able to do the
    nvidia-xconfig and return to runlevel 5.
