how to load the correct driver for nvidia fx 5200 grafic card
hello,
I started archbang from a typical USB Stick install and it goes to prompt with the boot code 1.
I created a xorg.conf file with the driver nv in it. that config was already tested as ok with another distro.
I copied that xorg.conf to /etc/X11, then I started at prompt with startx.
But it dont go to a grafic mode. it stops at prompt with a message
(EE) NV: The PCI device 0x10de0322 (GeForce FX 5200) at 01@00:00:0 has a kernel module claiming it.
(EE) NV: This driver cannot operate until it has been unloaded.
So, what should I do.
perhaps blacklist some drivers at boot, but with which boot code?
I dont know how to post here the whole Xorg.0.log because I cannot start the browser. The lines above were taken from my standard archang start where it goes to vesa. the message in the log in similar as a start with nv. vesa goes to a wrong grafic definition. its whz I want to use nv.

Check your folder /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/
You should have a 10-nouveau.conf file there, with something like:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Default nvidia Device"
Driver "nouveau"
