Bug Description

After todays beta-upgrade my nvidia system is not able to use compiz anymore.
The system is switched back to normal desktop, and when trying to enable I get :
'Desktop effects cannot be enabled'
Before the update to 2.6.24.8 it works good

Confimed here (with nvidia legacy)

With nvidia-glx-legacy 71.86.04+2.6.24.9-8.22 - compiz is dead.
After downgrade to nvidia-glx-legacy 71.86.04+2.6.24.8-7.19 everything ic back to normal.

And me again, seems like /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libglx.so is a broken link and needs to be fixed to a correct one
which is /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so.169.09
