That might be your best bet.  I thought I had an even older version in my cache, but unfortunately I must have deleted it a few days ago.  Sorry.

Edit: Did you by chance upgrade your kernel, too?  A few times I've had trouble when upgrading the kernel.  Try reinstalling (perhaps uninstalling and reinstalling) the nvidia drivers, or try "modprobe nvidia" as root.  Hopefully one of them will do it for you.  But then again, if you're not getting errors from X and you just have a black screen, I doubt either of those will do it.

Good luck.

Unless you have run a "pacman -Sc" since you replaced the nvidia stuff, the packages should be in /var/cache/pacman/pkg.

As tonyisnt pointed out, you need to upgrade your kernel to 2.6.26 and the nvidia driver should work fine.
