Well as my subject claims my glx does not load I ran ldconfig like nvidia sites says but no luck I am using kernel 2.6.11 and nvidia-kernel 1.0.7174
kernel loads the nvidia kernel no problem, my x ( Xorg. 6.8.2) server starts no problem, it's just my 3d apps that do not work like chromium or xlock hehehe
this is what happens when i type the command chromium
#chromium
chromium: error while loading shared libraries: libnvidia-tls.so.1: cannot handle TLS data
and this is my Xorg.log
# grep 'EE' /var/log/Xorg.0.log
(WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown.
(II) Loading extension MIT-SCREEN-SAVER
(EE) Failed to load /usr/lib/modules/extensions/libglx.so
(EE) Failed to load module "glx" (loader failed, 7)
(EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to load GLX
So if anyone else has encounter this problem and can point me in the right direction I would appreciated.

It would help if you told us what distro you are using or better yet put it in your profile.
Im having somewhat of the same problem in Ubuntu 8.10
My video card is a 8800 Ultra running a Dual Monitor setup.
Every time I reinstall the NVIDIA drivers and re-setup the xorg.conf it works for 2-3 reboots and then on startup Xserver crashes with the following errors.
currently working with NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-180.22 driver
This is My Xorg log file
Code:
wil@BigBastard:/var/log$ cat Xorg.0.log.old | grep EE
(WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown.
(II) Loading extension MIT-SCREEN-SAVER
(EE) Failed to load module "type1" (module does not exist, 0)
(EE) Failed to load module "glx" (module does not exist, 0)
(EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the GLX module; please check in your X
(EE) NVIDIA(0): log file that the GLX module has been loaded in your X
(EE) NVIDIA(0): server, and that the module is the NVIDIA GLX module. If
(EE) NVIDIA(0): you continue to encounter problems, Please try
(EE) NVIDIA(0): reinstalling the NVIDIA driver.
(EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module!
(EE) NVIDIA(0): *** Aborting ***
(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.
Im pretty sure the glx error is because its not installed (because I cannot install it due to an dpkg --unpacking error) but it does work for 2 or 3 reboots??????????????????????
I will keep looking and if I find anything I will report back

Ok so I have solve my problems with the NVIDIA drivers. I dont know if this will help you windowsrefugeeX I know your not on Ubuntu but this is what I did.
in tty1 (ctrl+alt+F1)
Stopped my Display Manager
Code:
sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
(for gnome)
Installed envy
Code:
sudo apt-get install envyng-core
envy's site says that this program is only for debian distros but it may be possible to hack you way around that
Ran envy
Code:
sudo envyng -t
after following through a bunch of text prompt envy managed to get the Nvidia 180 drivers working properly with nvidia-glx-180 as well
Hope this helps. if not you maybe someone will find this and get theirs working

I had the same problem and was redirected here, none of the above solved my problem so I thought I'd go post (register even) here after I found the solution.
Basically the problem was that I downloaded the driver from Nvidia, these drivers didnt work for me so i reinstalled the previous drivers using envyng as described above.
However the previous installation created the symlinks
And my current driver was 180.44 this meant that I was using two different versions of the driver and, well... bad stuff
The fix was to force the symlinks to the correct libs
