.so loading broken in xorg 6.8.1-1ubuntu8

[Despair]

xserver-xorg_6.8.1-1ubuntu8 fails to load libglx.so.1.0.6629 (Nvidia's glx
module), with the following making it to the logs:
(WW) Warning, couldn't open module glx
(II) UnloadModule: "glx"
(EE) Failed to load module "glx" (module does not exist, 0)

My WAG is that .so loading is broken in general due to the .so to .a/.o change
noted in the changelog.

In the meantime, sudo ln -s /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libglx.{so,a}.
I've got a local fix for this -- thanks for the catch.

[Daniel Stone (daniels)]

Note that this only affects the GLX component, and only with the nVidia binary
driver; every other driver, and 2D within the nVidia binary driver, is fine.

 xorg (6.8.1-1ubuntu9) hoary; urgency=low
 .
   * Note: This version, and all versions since ubuntu7, are effectively
     6.8.2RC1.
   * #028: Add lib%s.so and %s_drv.so support back, as the nVidia binary driver
     installs libglx.so. Also eliminate use of regular expressions in
     LoaderListDirs and LoaderGetCanonicalName, which should shave a bit of CPU
     time off.
   * Use xc/config/util/lndir instead of cp -al to create a shadow tree for
     building the debug server, which should make it more portable across
     multiple filesystems, as well as being a lot quicker to copy originally.
   * Update MANIFEST.hppa.in and all install files to currency (thanks, LaMont
     Jones).
   * Add xorgversion.def and Xprt.1 to MANIFEST.ia64.in, fixing FTBFS.
   * Force a tight, same-version, dependency on xlibmesa-gl from xlibosmesa4
     that cannot be satisfied by an alternative (closes: Ubuntu#5064).
   * Add XKB support for extended functions of CyMotion Master Linux and A4Tech
     KB21 keyboards (closes: Ubuntu#4245, Ubuntu#5171).
   * Add patch from Alex Deucher to hopefully resolve the problem on Radeons
     whereby initialising CRTC2 didn't set DPMS up properly, so the second head
     would come up blank until you manually forced the monitor power off and
     then on via DPMS (closes: Ubuntu#4343).
   * Merge changes from Debian XFree86 packaging since we moved to X.Org
     (current with SVN 2113; closes: Ubuntu#4343).
     + Includes shipping koi8rxterm and lxterm, with lxterm now the default
       terminal emulator in the xterm package.
   * Use $() instead of `` in xserver-xorg.postinst.in; add Canonical copyright
     attribution.
