But that's just me. I wouldn't have bought this laptop if I had paid more attention and realized that when it cam with an nVidia card, it was a Optimus setup and not "discreet".

Why? The reasons why Optimus has become hugely popular are: Heat, and power drain.
The Intel should be perfectly fine for "normal" usage. It is for *me*.
]]>I'm not on my Linux box ATM (I'm at work and they have not seen fit to convert 14000 machines to Linux yet. Go figure!) or I would post my xorg.conf for you. Suffice it to say it is pretty much what's in the Wiki.
But again, REMOVING the Intel drivers was the fix for me.

Have you installed the X server?
Unlike some other Linux distributions which will make sure you have the X server installed with the graphics drivers if you want to run an environment like GNOME3, in ArchLinux you can have the X server installed with out graphics drivers (and vice versa), resulting in no graphics (unless you're using Wayland).
So, what can I do to use the Nvidia card? I have to setup xorg manually instead of using GDM?
