I use this laptop to watch multimedia on a large HD TV. Both Fedora 16/17 and Kubuntu 11.10/12.04 64 bit work fine. Intel drives internal monitor, while Nvidia drives external TV through HDMI using Xinerama. Intel through DisplayPort results in flickering and other artifacts on high-quality video.
When I tried to do the same with Arch x64 (fully updated) I got conflict between xf86-video-intel 2.20.0-1, intel-dri 8.0.4-1 and nvidia packages:
[root@xps-arch ~]# pacman -S nvidia

:: nvidia-utils and libgl are in conflict. Remove libgl? [y/N]

Is there a way to use both Intel and Nvidia drivers on Arch or I am stuck with Fedora/Kubuntu?

I solved it by brute force:
pacman -Rdd libgl
(delete conflicting package without checking dependencies)
pacman -S nvidia nvidia-utils
And now I can watch high-quality video on a big external TV through HDMI (driven by Nvidia card), while also independently using internal monitor.
