Just as an additional note, this issue does seem to contribute to
occasional crashes in mutter:
[12164.703625] mutter[1974]: segfault at 8 ip 7f7fbf1d9e53 sp

nvidia drivers fail to start in Maverick X11
Public bug reported:
When attempting to boot, I get loaded to a text login. The relevant
error message is in the old Xorg log attached to this bug. The nvidia
drivers seem to claim an ABI incompatibility.

Are new nvidia drivers expected before October? Or should a workaround
that automatically adds the ignoreABI option to the Xorg.conf be
investigated?
I can apply this workaround easily, but there are a LOT of people with
nvidia chipsets, and we can't have Maverick ship with the nvidia drivers
