It is definitely the problem you won't get it to install unless you rebuild 
the package source having modified it so that it will install with the X 
version being 2:1.3 as I mentioned in my first mail and yes you need the -glx 
package installed as well. If you do not want to rebuild the packages as I 
mentioned in my previous mail I have them here and can send them to you so 
you can get it installed. You would only need to remove the currently 
installed ones install the source .deb I send you build/install the binary 
module then install the -glx and you are good to go.
