“Nvidia announced a few days ago, on its forum, a new version of
its proprietary driver for the Nvidia graphics cards. Nvidia
195.36.24 adds support for new GPUs, and fixes a few issues. But
the most important thing is that Nvidia 195.36.24 has support for X
Server 1.8.

“Among the supported graphics cards in Nvidia 195.36.24, we can

1.8, the “-ignoreABI” option is no longer required!”
