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.
