hi john,

thanks for your help.
Actually the reason it did not work is a keyboard-chair error ;).

What happened: nvidia 1.0.9629 is quite broken, see
http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=81316

some I installed the beta drivers.

Then, when I upgraded my box, links like:
/usr/lib/libGLcore.so.1
/usr/lib/libGL.so.1 ...

kept pointing at nvidia 1.0.9742 binaries :s

therefore 3D did not work.

But still, there is a kind of bug here: Should nvidia-glx override the links when it install?
I mean, installing nvidia-glx should have changed the actual libGLcore ... links to point to the newly installed nvidia-glx ,shouldn't it?

Another point too: if 1.0.9629 is broken: should not feisty goes straight to 9742 in the meantime.

well, i guess this bug is closed and some other should be filed :)
