Nvidia glx is not loading

Hello,
I lately updated my arch machine and everything went fine but after rebooting, the nvidia dirver didn't want to boot. It sad "segmantation fault" after loading the glxserver_nvidia module in the Xorg log. After houers of trying to fix it I found out that if I disable the libglxserver_nvidia.so in /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions (by simply renaming it) it started just fine, but the glx is super slow and I dont now how to fix it ?! I tried reinstalling nvidia-utils , nvidia and xorg but nothing helped.

/var/log/Xorg.0.log

(II) Loading sub module "glxserver_nvidia"

(WW) Warning, couldn't open module glxserver_nvidia

Re: Nvidia glx is not loading

Found the problem in the ubuntu forum. Put this in your xorg.conf and change VERSION to the nvidia version

Section "Files"
    ModulePath      "/usr/lib/nvidia-VERSION/xorg"
    ModulePath      "/usr/lib/xorg/modules"
EndSection

Re: Nvidia glx is not loading

That is done by /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-nvidia-drm-outputclass.conf with contents from https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/pack … idia-utils
Edit:
If you have files in /usr/lib/nvidia-VERSION/xorg what created those files?
