need help with upgrading xorg files [SOLVED]

Hello I was upgrading my system today and when I downloaded the files and it shouldve start installing I got promted with this:

error: could not prepare transaction
error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
xorg-server: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libdri.so exists in filesystem
xorg-server: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libwfb.so exists in filesystem
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

I tried to upgrade outside the X and no luck.
If someone please could tell me what these files are for and how I can fix this.
Is it maybe possible to run something lite pacman -Suc or something to force it to replace the files?

It's on the frontpage and there's plenty of topics about it by now wink.
