Re: NVIDIA + libgl-dri = chaos

Here's mine:

Section "Device"
    Identifier     "fx5200"
    Driver         "nvidia"
    VideoRam        131072
    Option         "nvAGP" "1"
    Option         "NoLogo" "true"
    Option         "RenderAccel" "true"
    Option         "CoolBits" "1"
EndSection

Did you install with X shutdown?

Re: NVIDIA + libgl-dri = chaos

As the package makes use of nvidia's installer, pacman has no real power in deciding wether those libs belong to nvidia or lib-dri.

Check if the libs really are available, and if they are empty. Remove them if they are empty, or not linked to nvidia sources. Reinstall nvidia with pacman -Sf nvidia.

Re: NVIDIA + libgl-dri = chaos

What happens when you actually start x? Do you get any errors?

Also make sure that you have the DRI section of your xorg.conf disabled, and that you're loading the glx module

Re: NVIDIA + libgl-dri = chaos

Disabling DRI is no longer necessary with Xorg 7 , and maybe not even a good idea.

Re: NVIDIA + libgl-dri = chaos

Its disabled by default in xorg.conf (at least when generated by xorgconfig)...

Oh well, I am absolutely no expert on the subject, so I don't really know

Re: NVIDIA + libgl-dri = chaos

install the nvidia package (even as you have it right now with the errors). reboot your computer. then remove the package. it should uninstall cleanly and you should be able to install cleanly. i tend to have that problem after i've run X and then i try to install/uninstall nvidia drivers.
