Question about installing the proprietary nvidia drivers with RPMFusion

[Hugh Caley]

So I am using the proprietary nvidia drivers for my nvidia 6200 as 
provided by the RPMfusion distro and kmod.  Works fine.  However, 
evidently the nvidia card/system wants to use it's own version of 
libglx.so, which is located at

/usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/nvidia/libglx.so

x11 wants to used a libglx.so located at

/usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so

Couldn't get glx working unless I created the symlink

/usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so-->nvidia/libglx.so

which is cool, although it took me a while to figure it out.

Today I installed a couple of updates to xorg-x11:

> xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.6.4-0.1.fc11           Tue 22 Sep 2009 05:33:21 
> PM PDT
> xorg-x11-server-common-1.6.4-0.1.fc11         Tue 22 Sep 2009 05:33:20 
> PM PDT

one of which overwrote my symlink with a new version of libglx.so, and I 
had to rename it and put in a new symlink.

Am I doing this right?  It seems a little unstable.

Hugh
