Thanks, Richard, I did not have those entries in xorg.conf. Seems to work. I wonder why I didn't get that?

So I am using the proprietary nvidia drivers for my nvidia 6200 as provided by the RPMfusion distro and kmod. Works fine. However, evidently the nvidia card/system wants to use it's own version of libglx.so, which is located at
/usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/nvidia/libglx.so
x11 wants to used a libglx.so located at
/usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so
Couldn't get glx working unless I created the symlink
/usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so-->nvidia/libglx.so
which is cool, although it took me a while to figure it out.
Today I installed a couple of updates to xorg-x11:
xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.6.4-0.1.fc11 Tue 22 Sep 2009 05:33:21 PM PDT xorg-x11-server-common-1.6.4-0.1.fc11 Tue 22 Sep 2009 05:33:20 PM PDT
one of which overwrote my symlink with a new version of libglx.so, and I had to rename it and put in a new symlink.
Am I doing this right? It seems a little unstable.
I'm not sure if this would fix it but I use the same driver but my xorg.conf has the following section which I assume gets it to load the nvidia version instead of the xorg version:
Section "Files" ModulePath "/usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions/nvidia" ModulePath "/usr/lib64/xorg/modules" EndSection
Does you're xorg.conf have something similar?

I'm not sure when mine got added as this is an F10 machine that was preupgraded from F8. The original header in my xorg.conf said configured by livna-config-display so it probably happened when I was using the livna packge.
