[Xorg] nvidia driver no longer works with current CVS?

[Stefan Dirsch]

Hi

I just updated to current CVS and recognized that the (binary-only)
nvidia driver for Linux no longer works with that version. Error
messages are:

Symbol vgaHWGetIndex from module /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/nvidia_drv.o is unresolved!
Symbol vgaHWSave from module /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/nvidia_drv.o is unresolved!

   *** If unresolved symbols were reported above, they might not
   *** be the reason for the server aborting.

Fatal server error:
Caught signal 11.  Server aborting

I verified that the nvidia driver still works with CVS of 04-06-27,
but is at least broken with CVS of 04-07-07 and later. Simply using
the Xorg binary of 04-06-27 fixes the problem.

Anyone who is able to reproduce this? Any ideas which radical changes
might be responsible for this?
