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"
