I don't have xorg 7.3 yet, but I will need to use -ignoreABI too for  
nvidia-driver when I update xorg to 7.3. I have went in gdmsetup and poke  
around. I haven't test it yet. In the bottom of gdm/custom.conf now looks  
like this:

=======================================
[server-Standard]
name=Standard server
command=/usr/local/bin/X -audit 0 -ignoreABI
chooser=false
handled=true
flexible=true
priority=0
=======================================

Cheers,
