I've posted a new version of the -nvidia driver to our xorg-edgers PPA,
would you mind testing it either on Jaunty or Karmic and see if it
resolves this bug?

Get nvidia-graphics-drivers-180 - 185.18.14 here:

Bryce,
I have already downloaded and manually installed this driver version
from the nvidia website. Initially it did not work, I had to purge the
system of all old nvidia driver files and do a clean install. This has
fixed the glx missing error and everything now seems to be working OK
(in jaunty using geforce9600). There seems to have been a problem with
older driver files getting mixed in with the new ones?
Thanks for your support
tony.
