xorg-server-1.5.3 doesn; t work with nvidia driver: Undefined symbol "miZeroLineScreenIndex"

[Adam K Kirchhoff]

First of all, this thread suggests that it is possible to get the
nvidia driver working with xorg-server 1.5.3:

http://nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=126815

Second, if your estimate of "maybe half of all systems run nvidia" is
accurate, that's still "maybe half" of all systems that do not run
nvidia, and would likely benefit from an upgrade to xorg-server 1.5.3.
I know I do.  

Third, if you use a binary only driver that has problems with an
updated x server, you are certainly not forced to upgrade.  You
could have just as easily stayed with 1.4.* till nvidia fixed their
drivers (which, by most accounts, already work with xorg-server 1.5.3).
