Latest Update Killed my nvidia setup
I ran pacman -Syu the other day and then today rebooted and now my Xorg.conf is no good. 
I can get X to work if I remove my xorg.conf file BUT I only get one monitor to work and I need two. I'm not sure what happened exactly. I will post below these files at the bottom of this post:
/var/log/Xorg.0.log
/etx/X11/xorg.conf my original one
/etx/X11/xorg.conf the new one that I got when I ran nvidia-confix right now
Neither one works. Both give "Fatal server error: no screens found."
I think the problem is "nvidia-173xx-utils" because when I do pacman -Syu I get:
resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...
:: xorg-server conflicts with nvidia-173xx-utils. Remove nvidia-173xx-utils? [Y/n]

Re: Latest Update Killed my nvidia setup
The nvidia-173xx aren't compatible with the latest xorg. You will need to use the open source driver, or downgrade.
There are lots of threads, for example:
All men have stood for freedom...
For freedom is the man that will turn the world upside down.
