A recompile of the driver didn't seem to help anything.
There is nothing to compile here, the X driver is just a binary.
Yes, nvidia doesn't support xorg-server 1.5 in their legacy drivers yet. For now it means switching to the free drivers.
In the past, nvidia has always provided compatible drivers for new kernels and X server, even for the two legacy branches. So we can assume that they will eventually support 1.5.
The status is the same for ATI users who are using catalyst now. To use xorg-server 1.5 they will have to switch to xf86-video-ati or radeonhd.
Unless you have a r400 card: Those are only supported by vesa and catalyst.
