I haven't installed anything but automatic updates from the fedora-redhat. The Nvidia installer said they had been changed, when it was uninstalling them. The recent xorg-x11 update probably "broke" your nvidia install. Since nvidia refuses to use an RPM-based installer (they claim it is "too complicated") you have to reinstall the nvidia driver after every xorg- x11 update. The nvidia driver replaces xorg-x11 libGL files, but without corresponding entries in the RPM database the RPM system has no way of preventing the driver from being overwritten on updates.
