It worked for the old version of the nvidia driver, because it included support for the ABI of the xorg-server 1.8 prerelease. The legacy drivers have been released a long time ago, they certainly won't support any 1.8 ABI, not even the prerelease one. IgnoreABI will probably just lead to X server crashes.
