I don't understand you. Of course you had to remove nvidia-173xx, as it
is incompatible with xorg-server 1.8.

But you don't need nvidia-173xx for your card, and never needed it. You
can simply use the latest nvidia driver - which would eliminate the
problems you're having right now.

Also, if you really want to use a free driver, don't use nv, it sucks -
use nouveau instead.
