It seems that nvidia's glx and the new xorg server are incompatible.
I get these messages in Xorg.0.log:

LoadModule: "/usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/nvidia/libglx.so" (glx)
LoadModule: given non-canonical module name
"/usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/nvidia/libglx.so"

...

NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the GLX module; please check in your X
NVIDIA(0):     log file that the GLX module has been loaded in your X
NVIDIA(0):     server, and that the module is the NVIDIA GLX module.  If
NVIDIA(0):     you continue to encounter problems, Please try
NVIDIA(0):     reinstalling the NVIDIA driver.

But xdpyinfo shows GLX as a loaded extension:

Attempting to run glxgears causes X to terminate.
