In NixOS/nixpkgs#498612, the nvidia modules have been adjusted. The kernel = null override now throws an error.

Replace deprecated xorg package set references with direct libx11/libxcb/libxshmfence packages, remove kernel = null override that errors on recent nixpkgs, and bump nixpkgs to f6030e80.

In recent (unstable) nixpkgs, there have been changes to the nvidia kernel modules. So when you
inputs.nixpkgs.followsnixGL's nixpkgs with unstable nixpkgs, you currently getxorgpackage setkernel = nulloverride after nixos/nvidia, linuxPackages.nvidia-x11: split proprietary kernel modules, use source-built ICDs, write params via modprobe NixOS/nixpkgs#498612This PR fixes the evaluation warnings and the override error. Tested locally but I'm not quite sure if I have caught on to all necessary changes for current nixpkgs.
PR pipeline seems to fail due to using an older revision of nixpkgs than pinned in the flake.
