Hi Steve,

The xorg-x11-glamor package was obsoleted by xorg-x11-server-Xorg some 
while ago (changelog says Nov 2015) so that package now provides 
libglamoregl.so

[root at rhel6 ~]# rpm -ql xorg-x11-server-Xorg | grep glamor
/usr/lib64/xorg/modules/libglamoregl.so

That change also fixed the conflict with the nvidia drivers so you 
should not need to take any action on an el6.8 system, it should all 
just work. xorg-x11-glamor should not be installed, and if it is 
installed it should be removed during an update to el6.8.

Hope that helps
