Sorry to reply to my own message but I think I found the problem, so I
thought I would post this for the archives.

It turns out that upgrading Xorg with the nvidia packages installed overwrites
symlinks for the glx module. The options as I understand things are to 
1. uninstall the nvidia packages and reinstall them or 
2. Add the following to /etc/X11/xorg.conf and reboot:

Section "Files"

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

The notes @ http://elrepo.org/bugs/view.php?id=425 gave me the solution.
