But just look inside. there are instructions on how to revert back. However, the following rule always holds true if you are using fglrx (and to some extent, the nvidia driver): before updating your system, check if there's any important update for X, and if so, please, always triple check in the forum and the web that the new X release is supported by your drivers. At least for fglrx, this is almost never true so the regular procedure is to mask the packages that are about to be updated, and check again when a new ati-drivers revision is in place. -- Jesús Guerrero

After all, you are using ~arch, so. The nvidia drivers sensibly block the latest xorg-server. That's what blockers are for: they prevent incompatible packages from being installed together, right? So you can choose what action of course you want to follow.

So January is a fair guess. Maybe February. Unluckily Ubuntu is not using this X version or they would have been a bit quicker ;)
