I wonder if this is a kernel space problem or user space or both? So does it work in Arch Linux because the Nvidia drivers and Linux kernel are much newer? Or is there some user space component too that matters?
AFAIK there are at least these components involved: * Kernel * Proprietary graphics driver (kernel- and userspace parts, NVidia) * Mesa (userspace)I am not sure how much "cooperation" from the X server itself is required i.e. if it might be enough to build a newer Mesa but keep running an old X server.

I have no current issues for basic use. I haven't actually tried to do accelerated video encode with the new video card which I count as advanced use but I need it so rarely it hasn't come up.
