xorg-server 1.9.0 and NVIDIA 256.53

[aGaTHoS]

I've got this error, after some headaches finally I find out the problem.

Seems like last xorg-server don't create /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers
directory if you install another driver perhaps all goes well but if only
install NVIDIA drivers like me then it instead of create the directory and
copy the drivers in, it copies the driver with the name of the directory.

The solution is simply check if /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers is a file
after your updates, then remove it and make it a directory, then relin
NVIDIA and it will put the drivers in that directory.
