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

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?
