The problem is that your XFree86 configuration (likely /etc/X11/XF86Config) is
using the XFree86 open-source driver 'nv', whereas you have installed the nVidia
closed-source driver 'nvidia'. This causes a conflict with the OpenGL extension
(GLX).

So change 'Driver  nv' to 'Driver nvidia' in the Device section. Then comment
out 'Load dri' in Modules section if it is present.
