Commenting it is sufficient, but what's probably happened is the Mesa
(software OpenGL) libs that the nvidia installer removes have been
reinstalled by some update of XFree* rpms.  Check /usr/X11R6/lib/tls and
tls/i686 for libGL.* (note period).  Rename any that exist and the run
glxgears to see if you still get the message:

cd /usr/X11R6/lib/tls
rename libGL disabled_libGL libGL.*
cd i686
rename libGL disabled_libGL libGL.*
glxgears


You may have to do /usr/X11R6/lib as well but I haven't seen those
libGL.* libs being resurrected.
