nvidia drivers repository for 10.1 contains two versions of the driver :
+ x11-video-nvidia ("legacy" driver);
+ x11-video-nvidiaG01 (latest driver)

legacy driver is used when latest driver has dropped support for some cards
that are supported by the legacy one. so, when using legacy driver, it is very
undesirable to get it updated, as that breaks xorg.

unfortunately, x11-video-nvidiaG01 lists x11-video-nvidia as upgradeable
package, so breaking xorg is exactly what happens upon an upgrade.

a desired change would be for G01 not to upgrade the legacy driver.
