Most likely its a xorg thing - can you post your xorg.conf? Did you
check the xorg log for errors? Did you use the nvidia installer
script, or a pre-built binary for your distribution? I do recall there
being problems with nvidia's driver and the composite extension that
would cause this sort of thing (since GLX gets disabled if there is a
conflict), you may want to check that the following is in your
xorg.conf:
Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "Disabled"
EndSection
