That looks as if the right driver has loaded
now look at the libraries that get loaded.
What do you see if you do this:
    $ strace -f -o /tmp/trace-glxgears glxgears
    472 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1024.400 FPS
    $ grep lib /tmp/trace-glxgears
    6018  open("/usr/lib/libGL.so.1", O_RDONLY) = 3
    ....

The key is that non of the libraries should be Mesa GL libraries.  I
recently did a "by the numbers reinstall" of the nVidia package because
a Mesa update conflict with libraries.   Not only a kernel update
but Mesa and other X11 libs will invite a reinstall.

Watch out for tls libs.  Some funky stuff was going on with those 
libs.
