 I added new nvidia drivers 169.07 for i686 and x86_64 to testing. My
 nvidia machine is out of order for now, so please sign off both

 I am also interested in signoffs from users, so please don't
 hesitate to reply to this message to the arch-general list!
I can try it today.. but with new nvidias I have always a simple
problem with libswf (or sth. similar). I do the symlink by hand than..


But for testing it's nothing more than
pacman -Sy testing/nvidia ?

 This file is not contained in the nvidia-utils package, which means you
 previously used the nvidia installer to install the driver.


I've been using the arch package without any problems for a while now, and
didn't have any problems while upgrading previously. Anyways, I cleared the
old files and re ran the upgrade, and it works fine now.

A small side note..fps values in glxgears seem to have taken a hit..
previously I was getting ~ 15500fps, now with the new drivers I get ~
14000fps

See http://pastebin.archlinux.org/23421

If this fps drop is expected behavior (since glxgears is not a true index of
performance), then a signoff for x86_64 from me.

Nvidia 7800 GTX for me btw.
