No, no, no!!! Please don't do that!!! I've got an older NVIDIA graphics card (GeForce4 MX 440) which doesn't run with any driver later than 1.0-96xx. So if you make xserver-xorg conflict with older nvidia drivers, then even using the gcc -shared workaround, I won't be able to install it. There must be a better solution?
