I didn't see the problem until I wanted to run an OpenGL game, and it just wouldn't run. So just for the hell of it, I reinstalled the Nvidia Driver, and it stated that the /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so file wasn't a link, and corrected the problem. I can now play OpenGL games again. And that was using the standard Nvidia driver installer.. Wolf
