Arrow Nvidia failing to initialize?


Well, I've supposedly correctly installed the latest Nvidia drivers (5336) but I'm still not getting X to start.
Apparently there was a problem initializing "NVIDIA" as the driver.
I've gone through the Nvidia readme countless times and done everything correctly. Any recommendations?

Oh, for some reason X would start with just "nv" in the XF86Config-4 file but when changed to "nvidia" it failed. I get no splash screen or anything so i assume that hardware acceloration wouldnt ben enabled. I couldnt even get Chromium to run smoothly. lol
