Bug Description
This morning my X did not start any more, it complained that userland needed nvidia ABI 97XX, but the kernel provided 96xx.
The reason is (after some manual experiments) that the X.org driver module modprobes the 'nvidia' kernel module instead of 'nvidia_new'. Manually modprobing the latter and starting gdm works then.

Since this will automatically break X.org for everyone who enables desktop effects on a new nvidia card, I milestone this (in agreement with Tollef).
