OK, I understand but personally I wouldn't worry about it. There is great support at NVidia for Linux and they're not going to drop that just because a new version of X came out. NVidia CUDA is huge in finance, 3D design, medical, etc., and a lot/most of that is Linux. If the newest versions of X are having trouble then that will get worked out quickly. On Gentoo I'm using xorg-server-1.9.5 with no problems using 270.41.19. I see xorg-server-1.10.5 in portage but it's still marked as testing so I haven't bothered with it. Being that there are no recent real-time kernels I think the use of NVidia isn't as much of a problem as it used to be years ago. Personally I don't need the real-time kernel anymore. The standard kernel is fast enough for my needs. (Sub-5mS) Being that NVidia works well with the standard kernel I'm pretty happy here. I suspect that properly setup your 7200GT will work fine. (I.e. - do whatever it was designed to do.)
