My home office workstation with fully updated CentOS 6.4 and dual 
monitors has been working well with kmod-nvidia for a few years. The 
recent update to the subject driver broke 3D support according to the 
error message I get when I try to reconfigure desktop effects from the 
GUI.  Previously working desktop effects failed to work as soon as the 
new driver loaded.

[bmcclure at office2 ~]$ sudo nvidia-detect
Probing for supported NVIDIA devices...
[10de:1040] NVIDIA Corporation GF119 [GeForce GT 520]
This device requires the current 331.20 NVIDIA driver kmod-nvidia
[bmcclure at office2 ~]$ rpm -q kmod-nvidia
kmod-nvidia-331.20-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64

[bmcclure at office2 ~]$ rpm -qa | grep nvidia
nvidia-detect-331.20-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64
nvidia-x11-drv-331.20-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64
kmod-nvidia-331.20-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64

[bmcclure at office2 ~]$ lspci | grep VGA
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF119 [GeForce GT 
520] (rev a1)

Is this a known bug?  If necessary, I can always downgrade to previous 
driver or compile from source.

Any hints appreciated.

Cheers,
B.J.
