The desktop I use has an nVidia graphics card for which I use the enhanced Linux nVidia driver (on a Debian lenny machine). All was OK until a recent apt-get upgrade at which point the glx stuff stopped working. I had been using one of the GL screen savers and as soon as that started X crashed!
The answer was that the update had replaced the libglx.so library with a stock one, overwriting the nVidia custom one.
Simple answer - move /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so out of the way and put in a symlink from the nVidia one which was lurking at /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so.100.14.19
Restart X and all is happy again :)
