Some Googling suggested that the nVidia driver port (I don't know whether you're using this or not) replaced glx.h causing the xorg-clients to fail (unchecked) and reinstalling xorg-libraries would fix it. This worked for me. I'm not sure whether you're having the same problem or not but I thought I'd mention this just in case. [1] I also had this problem with 5.4-STABLE but to get around it there I installed a binary package to save time. -- Andy Fraser.
