Thank you both for mentioning this.  I had that exact problem but since I 
didn't want to re-compile with opengl-sync enabled, I had ignored the 
problem.  Moving and linking the files got me working opengl and 60 fps in 
glxgears.  Disabling vsync in nvidia-settings bumped me up to 1460 on my 
7NIF2's integrated MX400.

Thanks!
