NVIDIA's "nvidia" driver and its components (libGL and the glx module)
are mutually exclusive with the "nv" driver and the libGL and glx module
that come with XFree86. You are likely having that error about not
being able to load the glx module because you are trying to use NVIDIA's
glx module with the "nv" driver. If you want OpenGL to work with the
"nv" driver you will need to uninstall NVIDIA's glx module and GL libraries.
Note that the OpenGL support utilized by the "nv" driver is unaccelerated.
As for the "nvidia" driver locking up, we can't support NVIDIA's
drivers on this list, but I would suggest trying it with AGP disabled.
That's:
Option "NVAGP" "0"
in the Section "Device" in your XF86Config-4 file. Beyond that, you'll
have to contact NVIDIA for support.
Mark.
