For the drivers, 2 packages you need to downgrade:
nvidia-glx-180
and nvidia-180-kernel-source

Actually the last one is the most important. It contains the driver itself.

For nvidia-180-libvdpau, I believe they work with any other 180.xx
drivers so no need to change the version there... though I would
assume that it is the recommended approach

Well, hopefully the above is enough!
