Well, I think I've fixed it - so I thought I'd followup my own post in case
somebody else has the problem.
After much swearing and wondering what could've gone wrong I came to my sences
- ran an updatedb and the locate glx.
It showed that I had the following files (amoung others):
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libglx.so
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/nvidia/libglx.so.1.0.4496
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/nvidia/libglx.so
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libglx.so.1.0.5336
I noticed that the older version of the Nvidia drivers (4496) had a libglx in
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/nvidia/ and the newer version 5336 had the
libglx file in the directory above.
On closer inspection, I found that libglx.so in that directory was a symbolic
link to the 4496 file. So, I nuked the sym-link and made a new one to the
5336, calling it libglx.so again, obviously
This leaves me with:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 Feb 15 23:43 libglx.so ->
../libglx.so.1.0.5336
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 687860 Nov 20 20:06 libglx.so.1.0.4496
in the /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/nvidia/ directory.
I restarted the X server and everything was running fine again. I'm off to
play Neverwinter Nights :)
(If anything I have done is in any way stupid - please educate me)
