Reconciling Nvidia and Intel

Hi,

I've got a USB (HDD) installation which I'd like to use indiscriminately with my big box (Nvidia) and my laptop (Intel). As soon as I tried to install xf86-video-intel, I got this:

$ sudo pacman -S xf86-video-intel
resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...
:: libgl conflicts with nvidia-utils. Remove nvidia-utils? [Y/n] n
error: unresolvable package conflicts detected
error: failed to prepare transaction (conflicting dependencies)
:: libgl: conflicts with nvidia-utils

Isn't there a thing I can do about it?

pacman -Rd nvidia-utils (and nvidia if it's installed)

pacman -S xf86-video-intel intel-dri libgl mesa

@flamelab: I think he's looking for a way for keeping them both, since both boxes share the same HDD.

@OP: I don't think there is a way. The conflicts are just way too many.
