[arch-general] Bit of a snag in starting kde3 - No devices detected - driver prob?

[Nicolas Bigaouette]

nvidia is the closed-source driver. He was asking for the "open-source" nv,
which I think has been dropped by Arch, IIRC. xf86-video-nouveau is a
reversed engineered driver that should provide 2D and 3D capabilities,
something nv was not able to do.
