When nvidia decided to go the proprietary closed driver route, they
*chose* to keep chasing a moving target. If they don't chase is
properly complain to nvidia. Either they work within xorg as FLOSS and
get updated with the rest of xorg, or they work outside xorg and have
to follow xorg changes by themselves.
