hey all,
like some of you, i had the nvidia 'issue', but managed to follow some of the other posts and was able to remedy that. except now, 80% of the programs on my machine won't respond and give me a 'segmentation fault' error if i try to run them through a terminal.
i'm really at a loss here and haven't noticed anyone else really getting this issue. i'm not sure what you'd want to look at, since i've no idea what's causing this. if anyone wants anything posted, simply ask and i could post logs or...check something...?
thanks in advance!

i don't know if it's related, but while attempting to repair my system, i decided to reinstall all packages - to comb out any bugs, as it were - and i managed to discover the following:
(854/854) checking for file conflicts [#####################] 100%
error: could not prepare transaction
error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
/usr/lib/xorg/modules/dri/i810_dri.so exists in both 'intel-dri' and 'xf86-video-sis'
/usr/lib/xorg/modules/dri/i915_dri.so exists in both 'intel-dri' and 'xf86-video-sis'
/usr/lib/xorg/modules/dri/i965_dri.so exists in both 'intel-dri' and 'xf86-video-sis'
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
i've had something like this before, but before i go and erase the files, or delete one of the packages, does anyone have any experience with anything like this?

i ended up downgrading back to earlier packages and everything worked perfectly. i think i'll stick with a working xorg-server and nvidia for now, until a better solution comes along.
for those following this thread, i found this particularly helpful
