Hi Alexandre, i do not know how fedoras rpm based (yum?, pirut?) deals this but dpkg and as far as i could understand the original nvidia installer-script move (divert) as follows:
the libGL.so.1.2 normaly located in /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2 and the libglx.so normaly located in /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so are moved (diverted) by the intel-glx package to /usr/lib/nvidia/libGL.so.1.2.xlibmesa and /usr/lib/nvidia/libglx.so.xserver-xorg-core and maintained (updated) there for the case nvidia driver is removed, to enable 'leaving the room' as found it before installation. My Scripts [1] have some detection code (using dpkg-divert --list) to find out if that location in fact is used and tests if those files are up to date but unfortunately I do not (yet) know if it works on fedora but for debianoid systems, preferable the newest Ubuntu (Karmic at present) they do. I do not know yum, you propably have to install dpkg to use my scripts. My 'switch-x-to' script creates symlinks to the needed shared object files after it has detectd the location. If it runs under fedora, you could send me a message. but: dpkg and apt, apt-get must be installed. That script should be invoked by an upstart job or an init-d script that should detect what graphic chip is switched by the acpi.
