I reply to my self (in other similar thread):

I was having similar problems with the nvidia driver on my
6.4-PRERELEASE machine.
The solution was to remove agp and drm related drivers from
the kernel configuration and setting:
hw.nvidia.registry.EnableAGPFW=1
hw.nvidia.registry.EnableAGPSBA=1
In my sysctl.conf, and also setting:
Option "NvAGP" "3"
In my xorg.conf in the Screen section...
The concrete problem -- not related with GL failures -- was
system freezing with /sysctl -a/ command on terminal emulators
from X server.

I hope it would help others...
