[solved]nvidia drivers and ABI?

this is my 10-monitor.conf

#Section "Monitor"
#    Identifier    "Monitor0"
#EndSection

Section "Device"
    Identifier    "Device0"
    Driver        "vesa" #Choose the driver used for this monitor
EndSection

Section "Screen"
    Identifier    "Screen0"  #Collapse Monitor and Device section to Screen sec$
    Device        "Device0"
    Monitor       "Monitor0"
    DefaultDepth  24 #Choose the depth (16||24)
    SubSection "Display"
        Depth     24
        Modes     "1680.00x1024.00" #Choose the resolution
    EndSubSection
EndSection

I only changed the driver from vesa to nvidia, and X is saying that this NVIDIA driver is no compatible with ABI drivers used by it...
I tried runnig:
startx -ignoreABI
but it's not doing anything,

//edit: solved...just used the packages from the repository, instead of the crappy ones from the nvidia site ...
