Description:
The nvidia-173xx package from extra, requires an older ABI version only avaiable in xorg 1.9. Since xorg 1.10 went to [extra], X doesn´t start anymore (it complains about an unsuported ABI version).
- Probably nvidia-96xx also doesn´t work (I can´t confirm this)

Additional info:
* xorg-server 1.10.0.902-1
* nvidia-173xx 173.14.28-5

Steps to reproduce:
Install nvidia-173xx in an updated system. X won´t start

Workaround:
Use nouveau instead of nvidia-173xx or downgrade to xorg-server 1.9.

Since we can´t use current nvidia legacy drivers, I´ll report this bug as "High severity"
This task depends upon
