Here all works with the same kernel package.

If the nvida package works with kernel26-beyond and you want to stay with
using more than one kernel than you can try to compile only the kernel modul
for kernel26:

- reboot to ARCH kernel with runlevel 3
- cd /var/abs/extra/x11/nvidia && makepkg -g
- sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-8756-pkg1.run --no-network \
  --no-opengl-headers --x-prefix=/usr --x-module-path=/usr/lib/xorg/modules \
  --kernel-module-only
- /sbin/telinit 5

If you get an error by compiling the kernel module than you can find the error
in /var/log/nvidia-installer.log. If you have no /var/abs than download the
driver from the nvidia page and make all without step 2.

A lot more of patches. See http://iphitus.loudas.com/beyond.html at the end
under Features.

See you, Attila
