I'm not able to replicate this. If you can clearly define a replicator
and we can see what's going on then I can fix the issue.
What used to happen in this scenario was that updates to
xorg-x11-server-Xorg reset the "Files" section of xorg.conf (see below)
where the path to /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions/nvidia/libglx.so is
defined:
Section "Files"
ModulePath "/usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions/nvidia"
ModulePath "/usr/lib64/xorg/modules"
EndSection
This can be reset by running 'nvidia-config-display enable' as root.
But I can't imagine why xorg-x11-server-Xorg would want to touch
anything under /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions/nvidia/
Further, on el6 the scripts that used to cause the above behaviour are
long gone.
