Public bug reported:

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/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so is loaded instead of the
right one installed at /usr/lib/nvidia-current/xorg/libglx.so. Deleting
the first file from the harddrive fixes the problem. But this
"workaround" is, of course, obsolete after each automatic update of the
"xorg" package.

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?
