I added a rather crude warning on all el6 installs where the glamor 
config file exists (although it could already be disabled in the config 
file). If you want to prevent the warning, uninstall the xorg-x11-glamor 
package.

Glamor is incompatible with NVIDIA so the recommended action is to 
disable glamor (in the conf file), or better still uninstall the 
xorg-x11-glamor package completely.

 From your log file above it looks like it's still trying to load 
libglamoregl.

We provide the warning and recommended action - it's up to you if you 
choose to follow it or not :-)
