Used pacman -Syu and my system works fine. Also I have the same card kalpik has.

Re: The Dark Side :Arch Linux
OK OK I have managed the situation in my PC, at least I think I have done it. 4 hours ago there was a new update to the nVidia driver in the pacman repos and I have installed it. Now GNOME runs almost fine (but I needed to delete all the preference files for that) without Compiz. Compiz fusion is breaking the system almost immediately after triggeing it, leading to a system hang.
@ Kalpik and Filledvoid, does compiz work for you ?

Re: The Dark Side :Arch Linux
Guys, I think the time has come to say goodbye to Arch Linux. But before that, I need to finish compiling my kernel and then build a Live DVD using linux-live-scripts. For fond memories.
I originally was going to install CRUX, but now I zeroed in on Slackware since I am a student of Linux. Any idea on speed difference between Slackware and Arch ?

Re: The Dark Side :Arch Linux
Then I think my nVidia GeForce FX 5200 is giving up with the new driver. Better be back with the old kernel + nvidia driver.
UPDATE : Everything is working fine again with the latest nVidia 173.14.12-3 driver.

Re: The Dark Side :Arch Linux
I think u need to manually compile the kernel for it and update the stock kernel with pacman -U command after vanilla install.

Re: The Dark Side :Arch Linux
I've been using Slackware 12 on my PC for around 3-4 months now and I want to try Arch,
I have a PIII, Intel 810 Chipset, 256MB RAM system, how fast or slow will KDEmod 4.1 be on it?
And I read in Arch forums that there are many bugs/issues using Intel i810 driver, will the lateset version of Arch be stable on my PC?

Re: The Dark Side :Arch Linux
PS: guess what ? we are about to exchange roles. I am moving to Slackware 12.1
kdemod 4.1 will suck on your comp, beleive me. but xfce runs beautifully.

Re: The Dark Side :Arch Linux
I think you should better try XFCE with Arch in your PC. KDEMOD 4.1 is not something mindblowing and with crappy with the latest kernel 2.6.26. Try XFCE since it is one of the fastest available.
