Did you remove the XFree86-Mesa-libGL and add the ModulePath settings
to `Section "Files"' as the rpm's description say?

Current nvidia rpms (to be uploaded) explicitely conflict with the
XFree86-Mesa-libGL rpm to indicate replacement. I cannot have them
obsolete XFree86-Mesa-libGL, because then everybody would end with it
on their system, not only NVIDIA users.
