[elrepo] xorg abi change in 6.4 - breaks nvidia, maybe ati (I don't have one to test with)

This is more informational than anything else, but the new xorg server 
in 6.4 has updated the driver ABI (sigh).  Thankfully the new package 
provides 'xserver-abi(videodrv-13)'.  The 310.32-1.el6.elrepo kmod seems 
to modprobe just fine.

Unfortunately, the existing elrepo nvidia drivers wont work with this 
new ABI.

This may also break the ATI driver.

I've reported the bug in mantis, so I've no doubt our elrepo admins are 
on the case!
