Not specifically familiar with the package (I have a thing about closed source kernel modules, I won't run them, or why did I bother switching from closed source MS after a decade of using it, to open source Linux... I choose to run a Radeon using the free xorg drivers), but possibly he's running ~arch and you are running stable arch? There are also occasionally newer packages still hard masked, available for anyone willing to risk the stability of their system enough to unmask them, possibly keyword them locally, and merge them. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
