Reason for closing: Not a bug
Additional comments about closing: Not really a bug since NVIDIA have ceased support for this Xorg version and I don't think there's anything we can do here.

If that does not work you may need to stay on the older Xorg server version as nvidia has ceased supporting 340x [1]

Thanks for the link. How is gonna be from now on? Just not update xorg-server, xorg-server-devel and xorg-server-common packages?
In the long term that would lead to incompatibility with other updates and you would either have to stop updating the system or locally build the old release of the xorg packages against newer dependencies.
Edit:
Other option I neglected to mention would be to switch fron nvidia to nouveau.
