I believe Nvidia provides a driver that works with the dlopen loader
used in modular X. I'm not sure how it is provided exactly, but
hopefully the
livna.org nvidia rpms will update to using the new
driver, and move things to the new locations.

Aha! Good catch! Please file these in bugzilla. I'll have to massage
our X server installation to remove these lines from the config, and get
our config tools changed to stop writing out unnecessary lines to the
config file as it ends up breaking future X changes down the line.

Yes definitely, please do! Thanks very much for testing, and for the
reports too!
No problem.
