If I had to guess, id say its something to do with header / library paths... Did it work with xorg-x11-6.8.0-r4 ?
Yes, it worked with 6.8.0-r3 and -r4.
You're trying to use the binary driver with a dlloader-built X server. No can do.
Remving the dlloader flag resulted in a working system. The only "problem" left is Symbol __glXgetActiveScreen from module /usr/lib64/modules/extensions/libdri.a is unresolved! Symbol __glXgetActiveScreen from module /usr/lib64/modules/extensions/libdri.a is unresolved!
Why are you trying to Load "dri" with the nvidia driver (which doesn't use DRI)?
