Question about nouveau wiki entry (keep both drivers installed?)

In this section:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/No … _installed

It talks about ways to keep both drivers installed. As far as I can tell both drivers cannot be installed at the same time because of the conflicting packages  "mesa-libgl" and "nvidia-libgl". Is there in fact a way to have both of these packages installed? Seems like in that entry section there is a lot of useful information. Not sure which sections to keep and which to rename / move etc.. Wanted to put up a discussion about this first to see what needs to be done if anything.

I agree on "keep both drivers installed" issue.
I've done some modifications to the nouveau -> nvidia and the other way round scripts, too (so they'll install/ uninstall the way they should). Might add that tomorrow.

Gotcha. I will leave the restructuring up to you then. Just thought it should be brought up.
