Xorg and nvidia 96xx driver

Hello,

I installed Arch on a computer with  GeForce4 MX graphic card. I tried to install the driver for it but I couldn't because I get the following error:

nvidia-96xx-utils conflicts with xorg-server. Remove xorg-server?

How can that be?

The current driver in the repositorys does not work with the xorg 1.7. Nvidia just released a new version of the driver about 3 hours ago though, so it should be updated soon. (1-2 days would be my guess if there are no problems)

I'm using the open source nvidia drivers: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Nouveau
They should be loads better than vesa.
