Ah, you're using Livna. Livna is very incompatible with the other repos so I
never use it. I was wondering where you found xorg-x11-drv-nvidia...
What I've always is get the driver from Nvidia and then link it with my
current kernel. But some update rendered things incompatible. (Ah, it may be
gcc! This is a bleeding edge compiler.)
Maybe if I use the older one.
