Remove that line from pacman.conf - it's completely incorrect. "Incoming=" means nothing to pacman, and if you look in /etc/pacman.d, there is no file called testing.

Here's the right way. Uncomment these two lines in pacman.conf:

#[testing]
#Server = ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/testing/os/i686

Then do

pacman -Sy testing/xf86-video-i810

If you don't need any other packages from testing, re-comment the lines in pacman.conf - if you want to be able to get selected packages from testing, move the lines to the end of pacman.conf, after all other repos.

WTF? :?

I answered your original post, "Need package, it's in testing, but cannot install". You've now edited it to be something completely different.

If you have two different questions, try using two different posts.

OK. Now I have to ask - why are you trying to rebuild the package? What's wrong with the version from testing?

If you insist on rebuilding, you should think carefully about any changes you make to the PKGBUILD. For example, you removed xf86driproto and libxvmc from the makedepends array, and you got an error saying "No package 'xvmc' found". That's some coincidence, right?
