As described in another thread, this is caused by an incorrect module
path. The easiest thing to do is to manually modify xorg.conf. You
"Files" section should look like this:

- - - - - - - - -
Section "Files"
       ModulePath   "/usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions/nvidia"
       ModulePath   "/usr/lib64/xorg/modules"
EndSection
- - - - - - - - -
