Do you run udev, or was it activated during your upgrade? Maybe in that
case the alias entries in /etc/modprobe.d/ and /etc/modules.conf don't
work anymore, try to add
nvidia
to /etc/modules. Also, if you use a self-compiled kernel, make sure that
the kernel driver and the glx package are installed/compiled in the
same version.
