Exactly.  The ABI error has nothing to do with you're GPU. Nvidia last
updated the 96.xx driver on 2012.09.17 so whether you run Nvidia's
install script or the ones from SBO is irrelevant. Sure the kernel
module will compile, but it and the driver files just won't work with
xorg-server-1.14.

At this point, you will have to either use nouveau and wait for
Nvidia's update, of upgrade your GPU.
