Is there a way to have both the Nvidia and ATI Catalyst drivers installed? I need to work on various OpenCL projects on both, and need both drivers to work. I have a Radeon 5870 used for display, and a GTX 285 installed. I don't actually need display on the Nvidia card, though it would be nice to have that as an option. When I have one driver installed, and try to install the other, I get conflicts such as
:: nvidia-utils and catalyst-utils are in conflict (libgl). Remove catalyst-utils? [y/N]
Is there any way to get both drivers installed at the same time?

You would need to modify the packages to install GL libs in different places and then devise a script that sets up symlinks to the appropriate libs. Gentoo does that and you use 'eselect opengl set nvidia' or 'eselect opengl set fglrx' or 'eselect opengl set xorg-x11' (for mesa) to switch the libs. But there's nothing like eselect in Arch.

Take a look at that thread
