AFAIK, current nvidia xorg support is as such:
96.xx range -> up to xserver 1.7, no mention of updating.
173xx range -> up to xserver 1.8, 1.9 support is in the pipeline
nvidia range -> *

yesterday, nvidia has confirmed that the 173xx range's support for
xserver 1.9x is currently in the testing phase:

so perhaps wait for the 173 range to actually support the new xserver :)
