It may be strange...but not uncommon.  The same thing has happened to me.  I
forgot where I got the answer.  It may have been in some FAQ on the nvidia site.

But, you will get:

(II) LoadModule: "/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libglx.so" (glx)
(WW) LoadModule: given non-canonical module name
"/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libglx.so"
(II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libglx.so
(II) Module glx: vendor="NVIDIA Corporation"
        compiled for 4.0.2, module version = 1.0.8774
        Module class: X.Org Server Extension
        ABI class: X.Org Server Extension, version 0.1
(II) Loading extension GLX

When it loads correctly.  As noted I'm using the 8774 version of the nvidia
drivers.

No, it won't.  And, I think you will be pleased with the results.
