I just updated from xorg-server-1.9 to 1.10, but even the newest beta from nvidia
complains that 1.10 isn't supported yet for my video cards GeForce FX 5200 and
GeForce 6150SE.
Perhaps drivers for newer cards will work, but I don't know.
The good old nv driver still works with 1.10, happily.

and with 'works' you mean it displays something. Very, very slowly.

Yes, a few months ago, but I had the same problem with slow bug-fixes for the
older chipsets like mine. The drivers worked well about 90% of the time and
were unusable the other 10%. I reverted to xorg 1.95 and all is good again :)

The 270.30 drivers work for newer cards. It does look like Nvidia has
been letting the legacy drivers slide though. I'm not sure how the
legacy numbering system works, but the newest legacy driver seems to be
from October.
Just to make sure though, as I forgot to to rebuild the drivers, and had
evdev failures...you did rebuild your drivers x11-drivers?
