Hi Tobias, i'm an arch user.

Today you have update the nvidia package in extra repo but this package not
works for nvidia geforce FX series, all 5xxx models.
In official thread of new 177.80 driver release on nvidia linux
forum<http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=120679>thera
are this note:

*Please note:* This NVIDIA Linux graphics driver release supports *GeForce
6xxx and newer NVIDIA GPUs*, GeForce4 and older GPUs are supported through
the *96.43.xx* and *71.86.xx* NVIDIA legacy graphics drivers. GeForce FX
GPUs are supported through the *173.14.xx* NVIDIA legacy graphics drivers.


I think that new branch of nvidia driver is needed for the nvidia 5 FX
series users.
I don't know if someone already report problem to you. In this case i'm
sorry for disturb!

P.S. Sorry for my bad english

Best regards and thanks for your job in archlinux developers community.
