I've been able to reproduce that on one of my machines. Argh. Seems
like the small update script got something wrong, or maybe the xorg
update, although I doubt it.

You want to look at the /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup file and copy
back the two ModulePath lines from the "Files" section back to your
main /etc/X11/xorg.conf.

If anyone with python skills wants to track down the potential bug
in /usr/sbin/nvidia-config-display then I'd quite gladly include the
fix!
