After having succeeded in installing Arch on my G5 Imac , I am hitting the next problem: It is asolutely impossible to install X on this machine (though it installed fine on a G4 Ibook)
The card is a Nvidia GeForce Fx Go 5200 (NV34M)
The nv driver does not install:
xf86-video-nv conflicts with xorg-headers Remove Xorg headers? Y
error : unresolvable package conflicts detected/Failed to prepare transaction(conflicting dependencies)
vesa driver:
(EE)Failed to load module "nv"
(EE) " " " " "fbdev"
(EE)No drivers available
Fatal server error :
no screen found.
What's going on?

Hi, you could enable [testing], upgrade your system and install the nv driver without conflicts. I don't know why the nv driver in [extra] conflicts with xorg-headers, but for sure the one it [testing] doesn't. Though I can not test it myself because I have an ati card (ibook g4).
Also, if you go this way, beware that you'll have to modify yaboot.conf, replacing (only) the last two instances of root=/dev/hd?? by root=/dev/sd??
Then run ybin as root, and reboot.
From what i see with my system, enabling [testing] doesn't really bring issues.
