Nope, not normal.  Nvidia's drivers don't use DRI -- any opengl program
that thinks it needs to try DRI is not using nvidia's opengl drivers. 
This -- that some programs "find" the Mesa opengl library before the
nvidia one you've installed -- is the problem.  Removing the Mesa
libGL.so files manually or via rpm -e --nodeps <mesa> gets rid of the
message.
