Check /var/log/Xorg.0.log to see which glx module is getting loaded. My guess 
would be its the mesa one instead of the nvidia one. Most likely you're 
missing some ModulePath commands in /etc/X11/xorg.conf (quite possibly 
through no fault of your own -- one of the X rpm's %post scripts may have 
nuked 'em). If that's the case, I think 
re-running /usr/lib/nvidia-graphics-helpers/nvidia-config-x.py and bouncing X 
should fix things.
