CFT: x11/nvidia-driver major update to 304.xx series

[Lawrence K. Chen, P.Eng.]

So, now that its in the wild...I upgraded...and it broke my dual monitor desktop (at work).  Seems like gdm/gnome can't see the other monitor.  Tried rebuilding a bunch of other things, but didn't help.  Reverting to previous (295.71) has things working again.  Wonder what people will do for portdowngrade when CVS goes away.

OTOH, I upgraded my system at home, and the desktop is still working fine.

It says it still supports my graphics card....though.

At work I have a Quadro FX 1400 driving a pair of 1600x1200 monitors.

At home I have a Quadro FX 1700 driving a pair of 1920x1080 monitors.
