Can I add that I experienced exactly the same problem with a Geforce 8600GT after installing Nvidia's proprietary [Recommended] driver on a fresh natty64 install, but as with the OP, it was fixed with a fresh natty install the following week (previous install also had message regarding ABI). I post because I also experience glxgears bringing the system to a state where it can run still, but is extremely slow. Will wait for next weeks test to see if it improves.
