I found out what caused my problems, the xserver-xorg-core package overwrote my glx module that nvidia had installed many moons ago.
To keep that from happening again I added a diversion: dpkg-divert --divert \ /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so.original\ /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so and then reinstalled the nvidia driver. But I'm not sure if that will keep it from happening again, I'm new to diversions. So, I'm sorry for all the noise on my part :( -- Crash while away from computer https://launchpad.net/bugs/90580 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
