As far as I can tell there's only one version of this package on my system. My 
system is a clean FC4test3 install on which I performed a yum upgrade.

I did use this.

=> nvidia-graphics-switch
Usage: /usr/sbin/nvidia-graphics-switch <driver>
       where <driver> is one of 7174

So, the problem I had is that X was using libglx.a which was in
/usr/X11R6/lib64/modules/extensions/
