I think David hits the goal. Especially after upgrading 'xorg-server' 
you have to rebuild nvidia-driver.

Personally I prefer to deinstall nvidia-driver before updating 
xorg-server and then install nvidia-driver again. This restores the 
previously renamed glx files from xorg-server to original names ...
