Which means that you will run into the same problem sooner or
later. I'd suggets to remove all trace of nvidia from your system and
have a clean rpm based install. You will know that future drivers will
simply drop in w/o you ever worrying again about symlinks.

Don't forget to rename /etc/X11/xorg.conf.nvidia to /etc/X11/xorg.conf
and if you have multiple drivers use nvidia-graphics-switch.
