And you must also remove load "dri",  load "Glcore" and add in 
load "glx" save the file and then restart X. You should get an Nvidia 
screen if it worked. 

Consult /usr/share/doc/nvidia-glx-src/readme

The other thing you may have to consider is /usr/lib/tls/libGL..so.1 
and libGLcore.so.1 these files may be still in use (linked) and may 
have to be renamed to activate the new files.

eg mine is  /usr/lib/tls/libGLcore.so.1.0.5336 and libGL..so.1.5336 

Sorry for the win post
