Finally, nvidia has released legacy drivers for xorg 7.4. They are in beta state but better than nothing.

Ah, good. Can someone update them to testing? At this moment, we have some issues holding back the release: 1. xorg-server-1.5.2-3 gives a warning on install/upgrade, though harmless, it generates bugreports from concerned users 2. xf86-video-intel-2.5.0 seems to have problems with DRI on some chips 3. libdrm 2.4.0 seems to cause problems with compositing 4. kernel needs a patch for G4* support, Xorg will crash without the patch I updated libdrm to 2.4.1 which should fix some symbol conflicts with Mesa on Intel chips. This could fix point 2, which will possibly also fix point 3. There's also another thing that needs taken care of. X.Org 7.4 on archlinux comes with input hotplugging, which means all your devices setup in xorg.conf are ignored, including keymaps (the hotplugged devices are configured after the ones in xorg.conf, but evdev steals all input events from your configured devices, so the ones in xorg.conf don't get any key or mouse events). I expect another large amount of bugreports about keymaps and mouse configuration if we don't setup some good wiki documentation about this.
