This is a typo, change v41 to v4l ("one" -> "el").

This should be part of nvidia-graphics4363, ...

... which looks damaged. nvidia-graphics-switch checks for
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/nvidia-graphics-1.0-*/libglx.so

The nvidia-graphics4363 contains
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/nvidia-graphics-1.0-4363/libglx.so

Check package integrity with rpm -V nvidia-graphics4363, and if it's
broken then reinstall it. Any idea why it broke on your system?
