Well, looking at "rpm -q --scripts xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.3.0.0-7.fc7"
it seems that it's the problem :-(

It removes the "ModulePath" lines, apparently. The manual workaround
can be to run "nvidia-config-display enable" again, I guess, or to
uninstall and reinstall the package.

The least ugly fix I can think of would be to add a trigger to the
nvidia-x11-drv package for when xorg-x11-server-Xorg gets updated.
