Re: Pacman Syu errors

I cannot see a package of that name in extra on the up-to-date mirrors that I use.  I checked one that was badly out of date and there was a package called xf86-video-nouveau-0.0.10_git20090612-2-i686.pkg.tar.gz.  Maybe it has been removed?  There is a package in AUR called xf86-video-nouveau-git 20090913-1 but I don't know if that is the correct one.

Re: Pacman Syu errors

xf86-video-nouveau has been removed from the extra repo. If you want to use it, you'll need to use the testing repo.
