I'm not sure if this would fix it but I use the same driver but my
xorg.conf has the following section which I assume gets it to load the
nvidia version instead of the xorg version:

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


Does you're xorg.conf have something similar?
