It appears that an xorg update had put a real libgl in, in place of the link to the version named nvidia library. I killed it and then reran the installer and everything is cool now for synergy, the tut's worked as advertised and are stable. And the whole machine is 2 or 3x faster too. And glxinfo works too. Thanks for the bump on the elbow to go check that out. Now to go and clean up after amanda, as that crash was in the middle of a backup run. Messy. :(
