Hello, Is GLcore commented out in your xorg.conf file? This may be interfering with loading the GLX library so comment it out. Check out the readme's associated with the nvidia drivers. There might be a bit more on any other option you may have in your xorg.conf file. Another option is to startx from the command line and see if the error messages point to anything, that's how I discovered my kernel and GLX libraries were different versions.

Hello,
What does the Xorg log say when starting X? Check that there are no warning about kernel and GLX version mismatches.

Does /etc/X11/Xorg.conf explicity use the nvidia driver as opposed to nv?
zcat(a)fluffy:~$ grep nv /etc/X11/xorg.conf Driver "nvidia"
What was the rational for selecting the legacy drivers? I did accidentally and it wasn't until I installed the standard kernel and GLX modules that the system came right.
When I updated to breezy my existing nvidia drivers broke. xorg's logfile had a note that my card wasn't supported by the regular nvidia drivers and I needed nvidia-legacy instead.

My recommendation would be to remove the legacy nvidia drivers and install the standard nvidia kernel and GLX libraries. Run the nvidia-config enable (assuming you are using ubuntu) Check you /etc/X11/Xorg.conf file and make sure the nvidia driver is selected and that the GLX libraries are also loaded. Reboot and if problems check /var/log/Xorg.0.log for the errors.
In the end I purged the restricted-modules and nvidia-glx, (and mplayer-586 packages just to be sure) completely. In the process I found various references to the later nvidia drivers and modules which I think might have been causing the segfault problem.
The segfault went away, so I cautiously reinstalled the nvidia-glx-legacy package and it's dependencies.
Now I'm back to where I was. nvidia drivers loading, mplayer works, but still no GLX.
