That looks OK.

Does you xorg.conf contain

        ModulePath   "/usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/nvidia"
        ModulePath   "/usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions"
        ModulePath   "/usr/lib/xorg/modules"

in Section "Files"? Is there
/usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/nvidia/libglx.so and is it pointing
to an existing file (libglx.so.1.0.9755)?

No, because EPEL globally broke the repotag system :(
