I don't know if this is the same thing or not. I had a problem when starting Blender. It complained about not finding GLX. Upon discovering the driver was commented out in my X11 configuration file, I uncommented it, restarted X11 and BINGO! Just do a search in /etc/X11/xorg.conf with 'glx' all lower case and you should find this section: # This loads the GLX module Load "glx"
