 There you go. This should (hopefully) solve those having issues with the NVIDIA non-free drivers for loading specific resolutions/refresh rates and X Screen settings on startup.
+= Troubleshooting =
+X Server failed to start after install and reboot
+If you restart your computer after the nvidia driver installation, and shows you that the X Server failed to start and the log shows you " modprobe: ERROR: could not insert nvidia : No such a device
+then deinstall the nvidia driver with sudo mhwd -r pci video-nvidia    then reboot your computer
+back to your desktop open a terminal write in "sudo gedit /etc/mkinitcpio.conf delete the nouveau out of MODULES, MODULES=" nouveau" -> MODULES=""
+after that write in the terminal for kernel 3.10 sudo mkinitcpio -p linux310  for Kernel 3.11 sudo mkinitcpio -p linux311
+then install the nvidia driver "sudo mhwd -a pci nonfree 0300"  reboot and it should work ;)
