Might get more info with:
Code: | tail /var/log/messages |
I'd recommend the Nvidia forum instead - see reporting problems. |

So looking on Code: | tail /var/log/messages | i figured out that the nvidia driver was having some conflitcs with my kernel. So i compiled again my kernel, and this time i disabled all the options related with Nouveau. And for the X, i used the xorg.conf generated from the nvidia-xconfig. With this settings i managed to start X with no problems :] |

By blacklisting is it possible to build for both nVidia and nouveau drivers. The blacklisting simply keeps any modules from getting autoloaded at boot time. When you actually start Xorg, it will use /etc/X11/xorg.conf and then autoload the necessary kernel module(s).
/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist includes:
Code: | blacklist nvidia
blacklist nouveau |

It's probably in your best interest to start your own topic/thread so we don't have responses to two separate people, so you can post your own relevant information there. |
