mesa-libgl and nvidia-libgl are in conflict, Remove nvidia-libgl? [y/N]

The following commands will fix it quickly:

pacman -Syu --ignore mesa-libgl
pacman -Sc
pacman -Rs xf86-video-ati
pacman -Rs ati-dri
pacman -S nvidia
pacman -Syu

Basically you update ignoring the mesa-libgl, then purge the pkg cache, remove xf86-video-ati which is 32bit ( maybe vmware would need that at the first place ), also ati-dri, then synchronize the nvidia drivers and do a full update.
