Hey There,
I'm trying to upgrade to GNOME 2.20 but it requires installing fglrx-utils since gnome-screensaver's dependencies require it.. I'm a nVidia user by the way.. :S

gnome-screensaver depends on the libgl pseudo-package, which should be provided by libgl-dri, nvidia-utils, nvidia-96xx-utils, nvidia-71xx-utils, and fglrx-utils. Pacman chooses fglrx-utils first because (I believe) it's first alphabetically - you'll need to install one of the other providers of 'libgl' first, and that will go away.

Is it possible to use to query which packages provide package X?

Hm, not directly, but if you do a search for the provision:
$ pacman -Ss ^libgl$
extra/fglrx-utils 8.40.4-1
Proprietary AMD/ATI userspace tools and libraries for Radeon brand cards.
extra/libgl-dri 6.5.2-1
Mesa DRI OpenGL library and drivers
extra/nvidia-71xx-utils 1.0.7185-1
NVIDIA legacy drivers utilities and libraries, 71xx branch.
extra/nvidia-96xx-utils 1.0.9639-1
NVIDIA legacy drivers utilities and libraries, 96xx branch.
extra/nvidia-utils 100.14.11-1
NVIDIA drivers utilities and libraries.
Everything that provides libgl shows up, but it doesn't really explain why. I think a bit of extra info in the search results was planned (I remember a thread about it...)
