Details

Just upgraded my system, and I now have the new nvidia-utils-1.0.9746-1, however I'm running an mm kernel and it seems the relevant nvidia kernel module is no longer in the repository, so I get a version mismatch between the utils and the kernel module I have around from before.

[rob@whisper ~]$ sudo pacman -Ss nvidia | grep mm
[rob@whisper ~]$
This task depends upon

kernel26mm was no longer maintained in our distribution, and as we have many other kernels around, we decided to drop it. Kernel26mm is gone from the repositories, and so are all the drivers that were compiled for it.

Fair enough.. kernel switch time it is.
