I don't know what IGLX is, but GLX did not seem to work for me at all when I 
tried it in 2.7.9.  Specifically, I could not run glxgears on a remote linux 
box, which is the canonical GLX test I always use.  But the good news it that 
switching back to 2.7.8 was painless and made my problems with 2.7.9 go away.
