What nvidia card do you have?

Maybe extra/nvidia 270.41.19-1 (the updated one), nouveau or even
nouveau-git would be better for your video card.
If you really need a legacy nvidia driver, then you might have
problems with recent xorg versions. You can manually choose to use an
older version of xorg if you really need.
