[plug] New ubuntu kernel and nvidia drivers.

[Dion]

Hi.

Is anyone(else) having difficulties with their nvidia glx modules after 
the new kernel update for feisty came in the other day?

I have tried the usual tricks like "apt-get install --reinstall 
linux-restricted-modules-$(uname -r) nvidia-glx" and also I've tried 
depmod -ae.
These helped to recover the x-server and my desktop, however glxinfo 
speaks thusly:

name of display: :0.0
Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual

and my xorg logfile show this.

    error    NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the GLX module; please 
check in your X
    error    NVIDIA(0):     log file that the GLX module has been loaded 
in your X
    error    NVIDIA(0):     server, and that the module is the NVIDIA 
GLX module.  If
    error    NVIDIA(0):     you continue to encounter problems, Please try
    error    NVIDIA(0):     reinstalling the NVIDIA driver.

and also

    error    Failed to load /usr/lib/xorg/modules//libglx.so
    information    UnloadModule: "glx"
    error    Failed to load module "glx" (loader failed, 7)

Anyone experiencing or solved similar??

Cheers.
D.
