Hello!

Looking a bit around i think its the GLX module that is not "NVIDIA"

[   234.053] (II) LoadModule: "glx"
[   234.055] (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/amd64/libglx.so
[   234.071] (II) Module glx: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
[   234.071]     compiled for 1.19.7, module version = 1.0.0
[   234.071]     ABI class: X.Org Server Extension, version 10.0

and the glxserver is a method within that or something similar..

How to configure Xorg to use a different path for the GLX module is the 
next question to solve..
