The simple fact is that the Linux kernel and Xorg are not static.  
Anything that is not maintained will eventually rot and become 
unusable.  As was indicated, the G400 drivers have not been touched in 
over four years.  That card may have worked great four years ago on a 
2.6.15 kernel and Xorg 6.9, but as indicated by your troubles, it 
appears to not work on a 2.6.35 kernel and Xorg 7.3.  You said this 
exact mailing list suggested that card? How old was the thread in which 
you found that information?
