Failed to load module "nv" (module does not exist, 0)

I get this error when running 'startx'. What is this 'nv' module, and how do I stop Xorg from trying to load it? EDIT: I am going to try to blacklist the module 'nv' using the kernel command line. I'll update this post if that works. I installed the Nvidia drivers, nouveau drivers and intel drivers. I also added the Nvidia drivers to /etc/mkinitcpio.conf (in MODULES). I'm on the latest version of Arch Linux. What I tried: - Created the xorg.conf file using nvidia-xconfig. On doing 'startx', nothing happens until I type 'exit' - Deleted the xorg.conf file. It yields the nv module error Also, is there a way to use the intel drivers instead of the nvidia drivers? I'd like to use this as a last resort.
