"You were using an unofficial nvidia driver which does not include the symlink. 7.10 does not have 169.* ."
That's silly. 169.07 created the symlink on install. The xorg-core 8.1 update broke the symlink on ALL versions of the nvidia driver, not just 169.07. I had 169.04 and others had the version in the repository. Please don't try to blame this on nvidia when the problem was clearly with the 8.1 update. 8.2 and 8.3 did not break the symlink of any version of the nvidia driver.
