Rog For Linux - Keep program from AUR instead of Repo possible?

Title says it all really. Got a ASUS TUF A14 2024 lappy and have enabled the G14 repo for the extra goodies.
Now, the problem arises when installing rog-control-center from the repo, as it just installs without X11 support, and the AUR version of said package lets you modify the install to add X11 support.

Question is: how can I keep (or ignore) the rog-control-center offered by the G14 repo and keep the AUR package instead? Is it possible to add an ignore rule to the pacman config to skip the repo version of this package and keep the AUR one instead?
Any guidance would be appreciated here, thanks!

As far as I can tell, the package is not a meta-package, so can you not just simply not install it and instead install what you want from the AUR?

You're looking for IgnorePkg in pacman.conf.

It seems the repo package always uninstalls the AUR version

Re: Rog For Linux - Keep program from AUR instead of Repo possible?

That's normal behaviour, pacman stops searching if a packagename is found .

Are you using rog-control-center or rog-control-center-x11 from aur ?

If the former adding rog-control-center to the IgnorePkg list in pacman.conf (as suggested by Scimmia) should work.
If you're using the latter, something is wrong in your pacman setup or update-process .
