As Daniel mentioned, the problem is in OpenGL.  If you are willing to
run without it, you can work around the problem for now by disabling the
"glx" module in /etc/X11/xorg.conf by adding the following lines:

Section "Module"
    Disable "glx"
EndSection

This issue was caused because the video driver ABI version was changed
correctly, but nobody noticed that the extension module ABI needed to be
bumped as well.  That's why the problem only affects libglx and not the
nvidia X driver.

Please note that we do not officially support pre-release or release
candidate X servers.
