I know about this problem and have used the rpmfusion rpms which deals 
with the lib files issue - the akmod package from rpmfusion 
automatically builds a new module whenever a newer kernel is detected - 
this has all worked fine for me for a long time

The rpmfusion install/uninstall leaves the original libs intact - it 
doesn't, however, delete the blacklist arg in grub.conf, which I had to 
do manually - I also made sure that the 
/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nouveau.conf file was deleted

Here's the last section of my Xorg.0.log file: the error message 
regarding AIGLX is benign according to several posts that google found - 
it's an as yet unsupported feature, but shouldn't have any effect on the 
driver working;
