Correcting conflicting packages from failed nvidia install

I used Pamac to install what I thought would be useful for nVidia drivers. Rebooting brought me to the desktop at a very low resolution. I tried to reverse it by using Pamac, then the Manjaro Settings Manager, getting the following:
" Starting

Right now I’m using the Vesa driver @1920X1080, which is a vast improvement. But, I’d still like to eventually install the nVidia driver. How would I go about fixing the unresolvable package conflicts ?

You need to remove the things you added previously.
You didnt say, so we dont know.
But this error seems to be specific about at least one of them.

I’m surprised you are even getting a desktop … usually vesa breaks things entirely.
So you will need to remove that too.
