nVidia has to update their driver to the new ABI version. Fedora can and
will do nothing to fix this in an xorg-x11-server-Xorg update.
Well, sure. But if there's a workaround that we can apply ourselves to
get X to start with -ignoreABI, that would help. And if it's part of
packaging to get it to start with -ignoreABI, then maybe RPMforge guys
could fix it there while we wait for nVidia.
