Warning: xorg-server installed before nvidia-96xx-utils dependency

I use an old nvidia-card that uses the 96xx legacy drivers. Because there were problems with xorg 1.7 and that driver, I didn't update for a while. Now the new driver is out and I want to update, but pacman says: "Warning: xorg-server will be installed before its nvidia-96xx-utils dependency". I was wondering if this is a problem? I would really like to update because I haven't in such a while, but I really need my box this weekend and don't want it to break! Thanks for any advice! :-)

What I would do if I were you is quit X and do the update from the command line. I "shouldn't" be a problem, since that is the order in that you would do the initial install. However, if X is running and you update xorg-server, you could get into trouble with the old graphics driver.
