Hi All,
I am using Ubuntu since 2005 and I like it. The only problem is that each 6
month I am spending some time to update. I have for that 2 root partitions
available.
I heard about Arch Linux and its rolling release and decided to try it out.
The base install went fine and I have a running core system.
So I decided to tackle the X server which under Ubuntu uses the nvidia
proprietary driver.
I installed
pacman -S nvidia
nvidia-config
and gave startx from my user account a try. No luck, the message was cannot
load module nvidia.
Then I used lshw and the card is loisted as
G96 [GeForce 9600 GT]
both under Ubuntu and Arch Linux.
I uninstalled the nvidia and installed
pacman -S nvidia-96xx
nvidia-config
and again no luck.
How can I get this card up and running with full hw support as under Ubuntu?

you should really read beginners guide. everything is covered there.
everything have to installed. after a core installation be sure to fully
update the system:
pacman -Syu
after that you _need_ to install xorg.
pacman -S xorg
after that you may decide what driver you want to use.
pacman -S nvidia
