Can you post your xorg log please, I had a similar problem a while back downgrading didn't help much either, in the end I just got one of the binary drivers from the Nvidia site, problem fixed.

This is what you should have:

Every file is maintained by pacman. The packages to install are nvidia and nvidia-utils.

Installing the nvidia drivers from nvidia's site manually is just a method to screw up your system in the future, by leaving orphaned libraries around to interfere.

Re: 9600GT problems drivers

Yeap, this new drivers works fine!:D Use officially drivers from nVidia.

$ glxinfo | grep direct
direct rendering: Yes
$ glxgears
91355 frames in 5.0 seconds = 18270.963 FPS
91499 frames in 5.0 seconds = 18299.650 FPS
91288 frames in 5.0 seconds = 18257.494 FPS
91974 frames in 5.0 seconds = 18394.789 FPS
91979 frames in 5.0 seconds = 18395.774 FPS
91953 frames in 5.0 seconds = 18390.563 FPS
92022 frames in 5.0 seconds = 18404.253 FPS

Execute # nvidia-xconfig --no-dynamic-twinview and works at 1680*1050 @60 mhz.;)

Thanxs.

Re: 9600GT problems drivers

I just upgraded from a 7900gs to a 9600gt, glxgears said with my 7900gs like 12000 now its only like this:
14829 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2965.739 FPS
I got direct rendering, is this a driver problem?

Re: 9600GT problems drivers

I've read somewhere about 2D issues with the new Nvidia Beta driver, did you use that one?

Edit, my system wont work with the new kernel26 in testing and the Nvidia driver, it freezes on x startup..
