Description:
After the update of xorg-server:
:: Could not detect nvidia-utils on system
:: Will attempt to use built-in libwfb

I got an nVidia Quadro 4 980 XGL, which isn't supported anymore, i have to stick with the nvidia-96xx drivers. Can be a check for nvidia-96xx-utils? They're nvidia-utils for another version, so what's wrong with 'em?

Additional info:
nVidia Quadro 4 980 XGL, can't use "normal" nVidia drivers (100.x)


Steps to reproduce:
Duh... Install xorg-server with an nvidia card?
This task depends upon

The package wants to set the correct link for libwfb.so (see xorg-server.install) and your older driver have not this lib. That is why it creates the link to the built-in lib.
