1.18 is the development version of Xorg with an unstable ABI. NVIDIA driver releases never support development versions of Xorg or the Linux kernel. You can patch the open source parts of the driver to support newer kernels, but you can’t patch the Xorg support afaik. Downgrade to the latest stable release of Xorg 1.17. See: [Chapter 2. Minimum Requirements](http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/355.11/README/minimumrequirements.html) ---

Redhat contributes to xorg-server development so they have a habit of pushing release candidates to decrease backported patches. I can see nvidia people as well in the xorg-server git logs so I am sure an updated nvidia driver will eventually support xorg 1.18
