I enabled rpmfusion and my nvidia driver installed without my
intervention, so I assume that I am already using an RPMfusion
driver.   

How would I tell where my driver came from ?

 yum list *nvidia*

Could you share your xorg.conf file ?  I just want to be sure I am not
missing some obscure option that allows the gl libraries to be loaded.
