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; see: [https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Nouveau][1] As lower-grade options, you might also consider xf86-video-nv and xf86-video- vesa: simply remove the old nvidia driver(s), install these, and the xorg server will automatically pick the best at startup.
