alright,
the nice thing I like with the xserver and all of the proto/libs
is it easy to uninstall all of them.
So I ended up doing that, and then compiling older versions
to get this working properly(3d support etc..).

Now the positive side is my macbook pro can probably follow git
due to having no proprietary modules.
(seems better to do that until hopefully in the future the kernel
might have something for nvidia so I don't have to have proprietary
stuff).

Anyways thanks for the response,
