The drivers won't become invalid they just won't take advantage of newer feautures in Xorg. I can use legacy drivers from nVidia from very old sources in Ubuntu 8.10 and it works just fine, my card has been removed from the new driver update for nvidia too, but i'm not worried, cuz i will still have 3D support just maybe not as new and snappy as i'd like.
Worst that'll happen is that you'll have to manually add a few DEV files and manually install the driver and let it's program build to the kernel you're using. Or you can just use envy.
