Bug Description

Binary package hint: nvidia-glx-new

In nvidia-glx-new version 169.09+2.6.24.9-8.22 (i.e., the hardy version), /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libglx.so is a symlink to "libglx.so.169.09". However, that file is at /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so.169.09, so the symlink is dangling and attempts by the X server to load the "glx" module fail, preventing 3D apps from working. If you manually change the symlink to go to "extensions/libglx.so.169.09", the bug is fixed.
