Thanks for reply, and sorry for not getting back sooner - I've been 
vacationing and traveling. I am not a developer and much of the above is 
over my head. 

I believe it will either be up to Nvidia to fix their drivers to be 
compatible with the newer Xorg releases, or prove that there is a regressive 
bug in Xorg and convince them to fix it there.

I have submitted a bug report on this to Nvidia and I am sure they are aware 
of it. My purpose for posting here was just to get out some kind of heads-up 
to the 12.1 efforts so it doesn't come as a total surprise come release 
time. This is a thread on an Nvidia forum concerning the issue:
