This driver was removed from extra in September. Now, in may you can finally update to a current xorg.

Not quite. The 32bit version tries to use a symbol that was removed some time ago, so it has non-working opengl. The 64bit version works fine. Nvidia is aware of it, so maybe there will be an update.

The 32-bit version works now too, you can get it from the AUR.
