I have had the exact same problem. I have a "nVidia Corporation NV17
[GeForce4 440 Go]" and so I have to use nvidia-glx-legacy.
Digging around in the Xorg.0.log I found this:
(EE) GLX is not supported with the Composite extension
So I added this section to my xorg.conf:
Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "Disable"
EndSection
and now glxinfo works finally. The solution would be patching the tool creating
the xorg.conf to detect if you are running legacy drivers, would it?
