My guess is that the symlink to nvidia's glx module has been overwritten
by the recent upgrade of xserver-xorg-core. (The Debian nvidia packages
handle this much better.) You can check this with:

ls -l /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so

This should be a symlink to another file, the nvidia glx module. You
probably just have to run the nvidia installer script again, or you can
create the symlink manually yourself.
