The problem is that your dpkg alternative is set to use mesa rather
than nvidia to provide glx. That's why the symlink was missing.

You can fix this manually by running:

sudo update-glx --config glx

And by choosing /usr/lib/nvidia at the selection menu.

I see you mention you had to fix things up "manually" when moving from
nouveau to nvidia. I assume that's where things went wrong, as this is
normally done automatically when installing through the nvidia-driver
package.

Do you have a log with the exact steps you've taken after the upgrade?

Kind regards,

Bug#859310: xserver-xorg-video-nvidia-legacy-304xx: Failed to load module nvidia (module does not exist, 0) No drivers available.

2017-04-01 Thread A. F. Cano 

Package: xserver-xorg-video-nvidia-legacy-304xx
Version: 304.135-2
Severity: grave
Tags: patch
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

All the components of the nvidia-legacy-304xx drivers (kernel and xorg)
were working fine in jessie.  After an upgrade to stretch, the nouveau
driver was unreliable (video artifacts, lock-ups) as it had been before
in jessie.  I had to manually remove packages, blacklist nouveau,
install and compile the kernel driver, etc...  After all was done X
wouldn't start.  These are the relevant lines in Xorg.0.log.old before the
fix below:



[28.868] (II) LoadModule: "nvidia"
[28.907] (WW) Warning, couldn't open module nvidia
[28.907] (II) UnloadModule: "nvidia"
[28.907] (II) Unloading nvidia
[28.907] (EE) Failed to load module "nvidia" (module does not exist, 0)
[28.907] (EE) No drivers available.
[28.907] (EE) Fatal server error:
[28.907] (EE) no screens found(EE) 


   * What exactly did you do that was effective?

It appears that the kernel driver packages and the xorg driver packages
don't agree as to the location of the nvidia_drv.so file.  Creating this
symbolic link fixes the problem.

ln -s /usr/lib/nvidia/legacy-304xx/nvidia_drv.so
/usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/nvidia_drv.so

   * What was the outcome of this action?

The X server started correctly.  After that it was only a matter of
setting it up with nvidia-settings.

All the information below was collected by reportbug after the symbolic
link above was set up and the system rebooted.  The Xorg.0.log.old (also
below) reflects the problem and contains the few lines included above.
