I think that is normal since the proprietary nvidia driver contains its
own GLX implementation. The installation instructions explicitly state
that you should comment out the normal glx module.
You should install the nvidia-xconfig package. The steps I followed to
get nvidia working on my box was first to get it working with the free
nv driver, then save this config, then install the nvidia packages
(including the pre-packaged nvidia kernel modules), and the other nvidia
related packages.
Then read the docs that come with the nvidia packages. Then run
nvidia-xconfig (I forget the actual command line, read the docs). It
alters your xorg.conf so that things like the glx stuff is fixed.
If you find you're needing a nvidia driver newer than the pre-packaged
one, you can probably still use the nvidia-xconfig package to fix
xorg.conf.
