the GLX problem has nothing to do with the debian packaging, I had issues
with it when using XFree's binary release for testing (though I think it
didn't crop up until the 4.0.1 release IIRC).. the problem comes into play
because you're only specifying "glx", and in the directory is the "libglx.a"
installed by the regular XFree things, and also the "libglx.so" symlink to
the library NVidia provides. Care to guess which one it chooses by default?
;) here's what I've been using in my XF86Config file and everything
functions normally (just updated to the 0.9-5 release the other day, no
issues for my setup, which is just a TNT2 btw):
Load "/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libglx.so"
