Now I COMPLETELY understand the difference between switching form nvidia
to nv or vice versa and switching from nvidia to nouveau and vice versa

Not their fault. But nevertheless, they are the ones trying to fix it:

I don't play computer games. Perhaps I'll render 3D videos or use Google
Earth. I'll give it a try and remove the proprietary driver. Watching
videos and editing videos must be possible for my needs too.
I was pissed off when the old nouveau driver didn't work for my machine
and some distros alrea

be gaming.

Thank you :)
indeed it works with the kernel-rt. I still have to test it a little bit

Hi :)
until now I switch between the FLOSS nv driver and the proprietary
nvidia driver at startup, depending to the kernel I boot. IOW I use the
nv driver with kernel-rt and the proprietary with 3.5.3-1-ARCH.
If I try to boot the kernel-rt, I get a black screen.
