Arch Linux

I haven't used this package in a long time, so I think it is time to let it die (I doubt anybody still uses it).
I will not be moving it to aur4.

You could just use the double '-d' flag and Pacman allows you to do whatever you like.

IMPORTANT: Read before you update!

I updated the package to 331.38, but I am not able to use it with gdm and gnome 3, so I had to downgrade to 331.20. Google tells me that other people had other types of problems with 331.38 (shocking, right?). Worse, once you upgrade, it can be a pain to downgrade before xorg-server depends on nvidia-utils and a bunch of other packages depend on xorg-server.
I came to the conclusion that I could end up breaking my system if I tried to downgrade everything, so instead I rebuilt xorg-server, commenting the line that says that it conflicts with nvidia-utils 331.20. After this, I was able to downgrade the nvidia packages and things work again.

Your best bet for now is to probably stay with 331.20 unless you have a good reason to try to upgrade.

I'm looking for the lib32 version of this package. I'm 95% certain it doesn't exist, in which case, could the same magic used to make this package bring that one into existence?

Hi. Thanks for the great worked, allowed me to get a second nvidia gpu running.

Hi, I wasnt aware of nvidia-beta, but my intention was not to "compete" with it. In my laptop with Optimus, I can only run CUDA and OpenCL applications with these packages (302 does not work, bumblebee does not work, and I need libgl (nvidia-utils-beta conflicts with it, so it is not good for me). My feeling from looking at forums (it look me a LONG time to figure this out) was that more people could benefit from it (I even wrote a wiki entry about it: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Lenovo_IdeaPad_Y580#NVIDIA_Card).

Perhaps I should explain these better in the description of the package?

again, does this package actually do something that isn't met by nvidia-beta? please respond, or this will be removed

Thanks
