If the nvidia driver is too much of a pain to maintain, the how about the nv driver. That way all you would have to do is modify your xorg.conf and change "nvidia" to "nv" and restart X if you wanted a gui on the lts kernel. Either the radeon or radeonhd drivers would work fine for the other side of the house.
You can already use nv driver (or even vesa), it does not require any kernel modules.
Case closed -- we have out answer. Thanks Xavier. For the nv driver: sudo perl -p -i -e 's/"nvidia"/"nv"/' /etc/X11/xorg.conf To go back: sudo perl -p -i -e 's/"nv"/"nvidia"/' /etc/X11/xorg.conf Now where in the arch boot process could I put a script that basically says if uname -r is the lts kernel switch to nv and vice-versa? -- David C.
