nvidia utils on MY system?!
Why xorg-server now displays some info about nvidia-utils? I am nVidia free!
Shouldn't it be something in another package? Like xorg-server-nvidia or nvidia-xorg-server ?

Re: nvidia utils on MY system?!
I'm not sure what you're asking here.
Do you have libgl installed?

Re: nvidia utils on MY system?!
Of course I have libgl and xf86-video-ati.
After xorg-server update I see message:"Could not detect nvidia-utils on system"
I am asking why xorg-server does something for nvidia, shouldn't it be opposite way?

Re: nvidia utils on MY system?!
oh - ignore that. "Could not detect nvidia-utils on system" is normal, because you don't have nvidia-utils. It's a badly worded message, but you can just ignore it.

Hmm, then what about this? I did pacman -Syu
(8/8) upgrading xorg-server [###############################] 100%

Re: nvidia utils on MY system?!
It didn't detect 'nvidia-utils' - you don't have 'nvidia-utils', you have 'nvidia-96xx-utils'. Only the new package provides its own custom libwfb, so you can also ignore this message.
