You might find in your Xorg.0.log that it complains it couldn't load GLX

I had this too, I just had to make sure these lines were in my xorg.conf

Section "Files"
    FontPath        "/usr/share/fonts/default/Type1"
    ModulePath   "/usr/lib64/nvidia/xorg"
    ModulePath   "/usr/lib64/xorg/modules"
EndSection

you might find these lines in it, and for some reason it loads the GLX 
driver....

ModulePath      "/usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions/nvidia"
ModulePath      "/usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers"
ModulePath      "/usr/lib64/xorg/modules"
