[arch-general] xf86-video ***
Hi . What is the easiest way to stop pacman trying to update all the xf86-video* drivers for cards i do not have the system uses the xf86-video-nouveau driver perfectly well but tries to install sis ati sirrus trident and more I know about adding files at the command line --exclude and about entering a list in pacman.conf but is there a way that is quicker.

Why not just remove them? # pacman -Rsc xf86-video-{sis,ati,sirrus,trident,...} -t

Why did you installed them in the forst place? If you uninstall what you don't need, they'll not be updated. -- A: Because it obfuscates the reading. Q: Why is top posting so bad?

You probably installed the xorg-drivers group. pacman doesn't fetch those drivers if you instruct it to install a specific one.
