They are better than one of the other ones that drops drivers after a few years.
I find that nVidia has been pretty good at supporting Linux and even old cards. A new
version of X is a Fedora or Linux issue and nVidia cannot be blamed if Linux is in flux.
I don't use the term "blame" since I don't feel there is blame, only
reality.
I suspect nVidia will support the latest version of Xorg-server when it is no longer a
"beta" in at least their most recent drivers. Yes, nVidia is pretty good at
supporting
Linux, but it isn't their core business so there will be a lag. They may choose to
even
support it in their older drivers.
AFAIK nVidia doesn't publish a roadmap which would indicate when they would support
the
next version of Xorg.
