Same here: "This driver is activated but not currently in use."
~$ glxinfo | grep render
direct rendering: Yes
OpenGL renderer string: GeForce 7600 GT/PCI/SSE2
    GL_NV_vertex_program3, GL_NVX_conditional_render, GL_OES_depth24,
    GL_OES_fbo_render_mipmap, GL_OES_get_program_binary, GL_OES_mapbuffer,

11.4 gnome: 32 bit system: same with current and 173 driver by the way.
no upgrade: fresh install.
glxgears is "dead".
i use google earth though, so the driver must must installed AND active.
