Question about installing the proprietary nvidia drivers with RPMFusion

So I am using the proprietary nvidia drivers for my nvidia 6200 as
provided by the RPMfusion distro and kmod. Works fine. However,
evidently the nvidia card/system wants to use it's own version of
libglx.so, which is located at
/usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/nvidia/libglx.so
x11 wants to used a libglx.so located at
/usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so
Couldn't get glx working unless I created the symlink
/usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so-->nvidia/libglx.so
which is cool, although it took me a while to figure it out.
Today I installed a couple of updates to xorg-x11:
> xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.6.4-0.1.fc11 Tue 22 Sep 2009 05:33:21
> PM PDT
> xorg-x11-server-common-1.6.4-0.1.fc11 Tue 22 Sep 2009 05:33:20
> PM PDT
one of which overwrote my symlink with a new version of libglx.so, and I
had to rename it and put in a new symlink.
Am I doing this right? It seems a little unstable.
