Description
The xlibre server uses a different path for video cards drivers under:
/usr/lib64/xorg/modules/xlibre-25.0/drivers/
or
/usr/lib64/xorg/modules/xlibre/drivers/
The gpu-configurator must check if exists this directory and link the NVIDIA driver there instead of the xorg path.

Research direction
Start by locating the gpu-configurator logic that checks the Xorg driver directory and links the NVIDIA driver. Check how it handles /usr/lib64/xorg/modules, then add support for the xlibre-25.0/drivers and xlibre/drivers paths described here. Done means the NVIDIA driver is linked into an existing xlibre directory instead of the xorg path.
