Description peteru 2009-10-28 17:44:54 UTC 
nvidia drivers for older cards (such as Quadro FX1300) block xorg-server 1.7 release, which has now made it into ~x86.

There does not appear to be an obvious reason for this - or is there?

<x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-190.42 don't work with x11-base/xorg-server-1.7.1.

I'll leave this bug open to prevent more duplicates.

Fixed in 190.42-r1
Comment 3 peteru 2009-10-30 01:12:39 UTC 
This bug was specifically open for nvidia-drivers-173.14.20, which cater for older hardware, such as Quadro FX1300

This version is not fixed, so reopening bug and restoring original summary.

-------------   -----------
71.86.*         2.x
96.43.*         5.x
173.14.*        5.x
190.*           6.x

xorg server     video ABI     
-----------     ---------
1.7.*           6.x
1.6.*           5.x
1.5.*           2.x

The 71.86.x series will not be seeing any further Xorg ABI updates. However, 96.43, and 173.14 will, but it will take some time. NVIDIA does not have a date when that support will happen.
