In case it is not obvious, I'd like to add a note here. If you are using ELRepo's Nvidia driver, you do _not_ have to do anything as the referenced issue has been taken care of in there. Quoting Phil Perry from that bug report (comment 3338): "You are correct that the file /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so is indeed from the distro package xorg-x11-server-Xorg. We DO NOT replace that file as if we did every time the distro package xorg-x11-server-Xorg gets updated the NVIDIA drivers will break. This is the way the NVIDIA proprietary installer does it and it's the WRONG way." This is yet another reason you want to use the ELRepo's Nvidia package ! :-) Akemi
