I believe you will find that "glxinfo | grep rendering" may return
"direct rendering: No".

If that is the case, then it is telling you the nvidia driver is
incorrectly installed and certainly is confirming the Error above.  I
install the nvidia drivers direct.  I don't use kmod-nvidia so I can't
really advise you on what is the best method to correct the situation.

You may try starting your system in run level 3, removing the
kmod-nvidia and then reinstalling....
