In preparation for a pacman -Syu I peeked at the "main page" and read:
The nvidia-173xx and nvidia-96xx driver packages have been removed from our repositories as they are incompatible with newer xorg servers. This can only be fixed by an upstream update, which has not happened yet.
For most video cards, the best alternative should be xf86-video-nouveau
Since I know for a fact that my integrated Nvidia GeForce 6150 LE is very incompatible with the nouveau driver I'm suddenly concerned... according to pacman -Q nvidia I got: nvidia 270.41.19-1 Should I worry about it? That is should I find out how to prevent pacman from messing with the video driver, or does the "270.41.19-1" mean the above will have no effect on my nvidia driver?
