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?
