# 3Ddiag.nvidia_glx
nVidia ([EMAIL PROTECTED]):4:nvidia:16,24:glx::::
The above looks cryptic, but may be an indication.
In any case, I always check /var/log/Xorg.0.log when in doubt.
(II) LoadModule: "glx"
(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules//extensions/libglx.so
(II) Module glx: vendor="NVIDIA Corporation"
compiled for 4.0.2, module version = 1.0.9746
(II) LoadModule: "nvidia"
(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules//drivers/nvidia_drv.so
(II) Module nvidia: vendor="NVIDIA Corporation"
compiled for 4.0.2, module version = 1.0.9746
Module class: X.Org Video Driver
(II) Loading extension NV-GLX
(II) NVIDIA(0): NVIDIA 3D Acceleration Architecture Initialized
