I didn't know the method using software-properties-gtk (Additional
Drivers tab). When I search in google I don't see any useful reference
to this, so maybe it is not very aware for other users.

As you mention, I run this command after apt commands without restart.
Restarting solves the problem. But maybe could be useful add a couple of
lines to glxinfo source code detecting previously if calling to
xcb_glx_query_server_string_string_length() has a X server enabled or
need a restart. So you can get this output for example:

$ glxinfo
Could not run the program. A X server restart is required.

This is huge useful for the user and avoid related crashes or duplicates
that will spend QA time (IMHO).
