Thanks Xavier. For the nv driver: sudo perl -p -i -e 's/"nvidia"/"nv"/' /etc/X11/xorg.conf To go back: sudo perl -p -i -e 's/"nv"/"nvidia"/' /etc/X11/xorg.conf Now where in the arch boot process could I put a script that basically says if uname -r is the lts kernel switch to nv and vice-versa? -- David C.
