[SOLVED] NVIDIA and Steam

Hey guys! I fought to get Arch on my custom-built PC, and just got it installed. Then, I had to fight to get the NVIDIA driver installed. I gave up and installed it from the NVIDIA website (The required driver was 340 (latest)). I installed it, then tried to install Steam. I got this message:

[root@arch ~]# pacman -S steam
resolving dependencies...
:: There are 3 providers available for lib32-libgl:
:: Repository multilib
   1) lib32-mesa-libgl  2) lib32-nvidia-304xx-libgl  3) lib32-nvidia-libgl

Enter a number (default=1): 3
looking for inter-conflicts...

Packages (10): lib32-gcc-libs-4.9.0-5  lib32-glibc-2.19-5  lib32-libx11-1.6.2-1  lib32-libxau-1.0.8-1  lib32-libxcb-1.10-3

Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

Please help! It's a bit of a awkward thing to happen

I have a MSi GeForce GT N210 with 1GB DDR3 and I am using the Cinnamon DE.

Thanks,

Will.

EDIT: Also, if it helps, here is the output of "uname -a"

Linux arch 3.14.13-1-lts #1 SMP Fri Jul 18 18:39:25 CEST 2014 x86_64 GNU/Linux

EDIT2: Sorry for wasting time, I fixed it. I had to --force it. I used:

pacman -S --force steam

Re: [SOLVED] NVIDIA and Steam

It's a bad idea to install from nVidia's website. The Arch-supplied drivers are the same as they provide. Installing from nVidia's site is why you had to --force the install.
