try to update xorg-server first, then do the Syu

Those files apparently already exist and the upgrade would require overwriting them. Add the -f option to force the upgrade and overwrite these files with the updated ones from the package(s). Note that you generally want to be pretty careful with forcing upgrades, for obvious reasons. It's typically safe to just, for instance, "pacman -Suf xorg-server" to overwrite the files belonging to the "xorg-server" package with the new/updated ones(*TYPICALLY*, not always). What you generally want to avoid is doing a global force(eg, for all packages).

This has been discussed in another thread. The short answer is to either delete those files manually or install xorg-server with the following command:

pacman -Sf xorg-server

Sorry for the repost then, deleting them worked just wanted to be sure, WOOO!!! NEW KERNEL!
