Oh, good, you beat me to it.  I was going to mention the same thing (but 
I'm at work and didn't have access to the exact filenames to mention).  
This was with the ATrpms for nVidia.  My symptom was that it caused by 
machine to bail out of X whenever any application used GLX calls 
(glxgears, bzflag, etc.).  I'm sure that installing libglx.so.xxx into a 
subdirectory of /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions was deliberate on 
Axel's part, but its apparently not normal for X to check subdirectories 
of that directory for additional extensions on startup, and I couldn't 
figure out which config file to tweak to make it look there.
