it's interesting that the nvidia engineers were the ones who submitted the changes to X.org 7.1 that break their drivers and they are the last ones who haven't released a compatable driver.

I'm sure teh conspiracy folks could have a field day with this one.

The submitted one of the changes, but not all of them. There are several different things which changed ABI in X.org 7.1. NVIDIA was responsible for the Xv changes (which were necessary in order to do hardware Xv acceleration with compositing), but not the other ABI changes (like fonts).
