[typo@netcabo.pt: X upgrade broke NVIDIA binary driver]

Can someone who uses NVIDIA's binary-only drivers with Debian's X
packages help this guy out?

I don't know if you care about binary drivers but the last X upgrade broke 
3D/DRI/GLX in the nvidia's driver.

For a Geforce 2 MX AGP

I didn't submit this as a bug report because I don't know which of the 
packages in X caused this.

I tried this with 2.2.19, 2.2.20 and 2.4.13 kernels, they all show roughly 
the same symptons.

I did reinstall the driver after I upgraded X, so the problem isn't there.

And I am absolutely sure it's not a hardware problem. I put the board in a 
computer with an older version of X and it worked, when I upgraded X  it 
stopped working in the exact same way.

If this was already reported of if you don't care about binary modules, I 
apologize.
