Public bug reported: The Xorg Server couldn't load the glx module after installing the nvidia-glx-180 packet with aptitude, tried 170 too, but i doesn't worked either. That's for the bad news, but the good news is, I found the problem and a workaround:
The Problem was, that an unsucessful attemp to install nvidia Cuda drivers left three (as far as i know) librariers in my system. Some symlinks wheren't updated the prober way and still pointed to those relicts. the first one was /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so.190.18 the symlink /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so pointed corectly to libglx.so.180.44 so this wasn't the problem but there where two lybraries left on /usr/lib/: libGLcore.so.190.18 and libGL.so.190.18 the symlinks libGLcore.so.1 libGL.so.1 pointed to them when they should have pointed to libGLcore.so.180.44 and libGL.so.180.44. After changing the symlinks manualy to the right library everything worked fine. Maybe theres a way the packet manager points this two symlinks to the correct version instead of the newest one? the later is exactly the behaviour of ldconfig which i tried in first place. after i removed the files libGLcore.so.190.18 and libGL.so.190.18 ldconfig worked correctly! I hope the information helped, if there are furtehr questions, please don't hesitate to contact me!
