Hi,
nvidia drivers 180.41 are broken for 6600/7600gt cards (potentially other ones):
http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthr … ?p=1964672
I have a 7600GT and after upgrading could not get X. Need to revert to 180.29 or 180.37.
I posted this message:

The beta 185.13 works, so I think (and hope) this is just an error and not a deprecation.

Strange, I know for sure that a 6150 (nforce 430) and a Geforce 7800GT works fine.

I can confirm my 6600 is broken with this new driver. Maybe our cards are going to be supported trhough legacy only from now on. At least nvidia does great lagacy support.
Well, the beta 185.13 works well. So hopefully it may be just a mistake.

I have a 7600gt that works just fine with the driver...

That's very weird. My lspci -v |grep nV returns:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GeForce 7600 GT (rev a2) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
What's yours?

180.41 also work just fine on my 7600gt
lspci -v |grep nV
04:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G70 [GeForce 7600 GT] (rev a1) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])

@phil just do pacman -Syu and it will downgrade automatically because nvidia 180.29 has in builds force option

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

(After disabling [testing] from pacman.conf, if I am understanding you correctly.)

I wouldnt touch anything past 180.29. Whoever made those drivers probably had their brain stolen and replaced with a lump of coal. Even 180.29 has issues but Im willing to put up with them as they are very minor.

180.41 also work just fine on my 7600gt
lspci -v |grep nV 04:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G70 [GeForce 7600 GT] (rev a1) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
So the only difference is the rev a1 (I have a rev a2), and the way it is named: "nVidia Corporation G70 [GeForce 7600 GT]" for you, "nVidia Corporation GeForce 7600 GT" for me.

Have Nvidia 7600 and installed the nvidia-180.41 from testing. Didn't know that they are broken. Am new to arch, tell me how to downgrade!
When you fix it, can you please return the output of this command:
lspci -v |grep nV
Thanks.

I think it would be moreb helpful to compare the ourput of lspci -nn:
lspci -nn|grep VGA
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: nVidia Corporation G70 [GeForce 7800 GT] [10de:0092] (rev a1)

Okay, so the output of lspci -nn for my 7600gt (which works with 180.41) is:
lspci -nn |grep VGA
04:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: nVidia Corporation G70 [GeForce 7600 GT] [10de:0391] (rev a1)

This is mine (not working with 180.41):
$ lspci -nn |grep VGA
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: nVidia Corporation GeForce 7600 GT [10de:02e0] (rev a2)

A nVidia developers confirms this is a bug:

Nevermind, I found the problem - it affects PCI-E GPUs bridged to AGP. This problem should be fixed in a future release.
