[Bug 626974] Re: ABI change in xorg 1.9 breaks legacy nvidia-96 drivers in Maverick

 

I've pulled the xserver-xorg packages from Lucid, and used the Maverick
nvidia-96 package. Pinned xorg, xserver-xorg on the Lucid release using
"aptitude hold xserver-xorg". Working nvidia drivers again for the old
system.

I'm not on that machine at present, sorry to not post specific versions.
Can someone at least post a nvidia-96 and perhaps nvidia-glx-96 update
that require the old xserver-xorg? This should stop people from
installing the new xorg and breaking things again.

Current Requires lists: x11-common (>= 1:7.0.0)   which perhaps should
also state < 1:9.0.0  ?
