Bug Description
Binary package hint: xorg
After installation of Ubuntu Maverick, opengl support for my NVIDIA graphics card did not work. The Xorg.log contains the error message:
[ 14.360] (EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the GLX module; please check in your X
[ 14.360] (EE) NVIDIA(0): log file that the GLX module has been loaded in your X
[ 14.360] (EE) NVIDIA(0): server, and that the module is the NVIDIA GLX module. If
[ 14.360] (EE) NVIDIA(0): you continue to encounter problems, Please try
[ 14.360] (EE) NVIDIA(0): reinstalling the NVIDIA driver.
So obviously the default GLX module /usr/lib/
It is only a small problem, but really hard to find, and maybe it is possible for the nvidia-current or xorg packages to enforce loading of the right GLX extension module without such hacks?

Hey avaun,
Hi, have you had a chance to test if this bug is still present in natty?
If it does (and if you're the original reporter), please boot into natty
and run the command:
apport-collect <bug-number>
which will update the bug with fresh logs and tag the bug as affecting
natty. (It is best to run this right after reproducing the problem.)
