Bug Description

Using hardy with all the latest packages. Graphics hardware is an nVidia GeForce Go 7600.

The nvidia-glx-new package (and presumably the other nvidia-glx packages) installs a file at /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libglx.so. In older versions of the package, this was a link to /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libglx.so.xxx.xx, where xxx.xx was the nVidia driver version number. However, with the current nvidia-glx-new, the second file is now located at /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so.xxx.xx but /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libglx.so still points to the old location. This causes a broken link and as a result, anyone using the nvidia Xorg driver ends up having glx broken/disabled. The link included with the package should be updated to fix this.
