I am unable to use nvidia drivers for my GPU, an Nvida Geforce 650TI since I updated to 13.04. I was using the nouveau drivers, but it became unstable, crashing at least once per day and I need to make the nvidia drivers to work.
When I try logging in, X just crash and prompt me back to the login screen.
in my Xorg.0.log I get :
[ 46.837] (II) "glx" will be loaded. This was enabled by default and also specified in the config file.

I tried installing at least 5 different version of the nvidia driver (current, 304, 310,313,319 and 325)
I did recreate my xorg.conf via nvidia-xconfig
Any help would be very appreciated.
It seems my libglx.so is dating from a few months. When I remove it, I can log in, but Unity is not loading. Any methods to update libglx.so for my nvidia drivers?? Are they located somewhere else?
Thanks
