Description
I recently moved house and didn't yet have internet access, I also bought a new HDTV. While attempting to change to a higher resolution I changed something in the MythVantage Display options, which caused pacman to uninstall all the X drivers and then attempt to reinstall the nVidia drivers. Unfortunately because there was one internet access it couldn't reinstall the drivers and now X wont start.

What does ls /data/var/cache/pacman/pkg/nvidia*
show?

Here is the info you requested, plus the pacman.log from when I believe the problem began. Now that I have internet access again I have also tried rerunning the last command from the pacman.log (pacman -S nvidia nvidia-utils). I now have X running again, and the boot process is no longer getting stuck.
