Actually... well, I'm no expert, but I can tell you my experience :-).
 3D, AIGLX, etc all work fine for me and this is my xorg.conf:

# Xorg configuration created by pyxf86config

Section "ServerLayout"
        Identifier     "Default Layout"
        Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0
        InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection

Section "Files"
        ModulePath   "/usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions/nvidia"
        ModulePath   "/usr/lib64/xorg/modules"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Keyboard0"
        Driver      "kbd"
        Option      "XkbModel" "pc105"
        Option      "XkbLayout" "us"
EndSection

Section "Device"

#       Option      "ModeValidation" "NoEdidDFPMaxSizeCheck"
        Identifier  "Videocard0"
        Driver      "nvidia"
        Option      "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
        Identifier "Screen0"
        Device     "Videocard0"
        DefaultDepth     24
        SubSection "Display"
                Viewport   0 0
                Depth     24
        EndSubSection
EndSection

No modules section.  I do notice that I have the line:
       ModulePath   "/usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions/nvidia"
in the "Files" section that Antonio did not have.  Perhaps he now has
that and that is why it is working.  The xorg.conf file has gotten
much smaller in recent times.  A change that is very welcome indeed.
