Re: X and a geforce 8600gt?
It would probably help if you posted what version of the driver you're using (which "nvidia" package you installed), along with your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and /var/log/Xorg.0.log
The nvidia package doesn't "upgrade" the kernel, but it does require a kernel blob-wrapper module to be rebuilt if you're updating kernels for another purpose.

Re: X and a geforce 8600gt?
I just did the "nvidia" thats the name of the package just
# pacman -S nvidia
its for the more current g-cards and yes it does not upgrade it but it installs it as dependency(?) or something it will say "The following packages will be installed..." I will post the x-org conf thank very much for the quick response. Im just currious is anyone else have this problem too?
