Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Chris Halse Rogers (raof)]

How did you install the nvidia drivers? Your symptoms indicate that you've got the nvidia libglx.so (which won't work with Intel) on your system, which is why 3D isn't working.

The nvidia drivers don't work on optimus hardware; the “Additional Drivers” capplet shouldn't offer to install them anymore.

I just reinstalled oneiric and now glx works fine.
The nvidia drivers were installed themselves.
