   Xorg 7.3 has changed ABI, which makes that the current nVidia driver won't   
   work with the new Xorg.   
      
   You can of course force the install and then you need to disable composite in   
   your xorg.conf and then use "startx -- -ignoreABI" to start Xorg, but be   
   warned, this won't work for all.
