I don't know if /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/libglx.so should be a symlink. Posisbly I had removed the symlink in my previous f15 installation and replaced it with the actual file from the f15 nouveau driver.

I 've rebuilt xorg server and after installation i found out that this file had an old age, so I removed it and symlinked it to /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions and now everything is ok.
