I have two Sid systems with NVIDIA driver 280.13 installed with sgfxi. Both wouldn't load X after the upgrade (xserver-common, xserver-xorg-core) to 1.11.0.
I had to downgrade to version 1.10.4 from testing.

Yes, users should be careful when upgrading. I had to add this to my /etc/X11/xorg.conf Code: Section "ServerFlags"
Option "ignoreABI" "true"
EndSection
This is my inxi -G Code: $ inxi -G
Graphics: Card: nVidia G98 [GeForce 8400 GS] X.Org: 1.11.0 driver: nvidia Resolution: 1280x1024@50.0hz
GLX Renderer: GeForce 8400 GS/PCI/SSE2/3DNOW! GLX Version: 3.3.0 NVIDIA 285.03

For some reason adding the line in my xorg.conf did not work. I had to downgrade to the Testing versions as secipolia suggested. Back in business!

The 'fix' I posted sort of works (random 'bleeding' of graphics), so in the end I also downgraded to Testing versions.

I would just like to add that I have the 280 driver installed in a GNOME 3 system and the 285 in a KDE system with some effects enabled (the default ones). All is working, at least apparently, perfectly (with xserver 1.11.0). This may be due to the fact that I have probably the most basic card supported by these drivers, a GF 6200. As an interesting tip, GNOME 3 has built-in desktop recording and it works surprisingly well in this old PC. Much better than recordmydesktop ever did (and actually better than the same GNOME 3 feature in Fedora). Here's a tiny 4 or 5 s video: http://www.sendspace.com/file/okk9ir

The latest NVIDIA 285.05.09 driver works fine if installed via sgfxi and no hacks needed

after fiddling around with various drivers, the added section "ServerFlags" did the trick for
me too, thanks vor the tip.
however the new 280.13.really.275.36-1 in the repos also works now with xserver 1.11. on
my system. running nvidia-xconfig adds the lines "ServerFlags" automatically to xorg.conf,
so you don`t have to do this by hand anymore.
