Is xserver-xorg-core installed?

Note that if you directly install the upstream nvidia driver, it
conflicts with the xserver-xorg-core version of
/usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so, and every time that
xserver-xorg-core is updated you'll have to re-symlink
libglx.so.1.0.NNNN to libglx.so.  No big deal, but just something to
remember.
