Comment the above line.  It's not needed anymore with NVIDIA driver.
Change that to:
   #    Load    "GLcore"

This is wrong!  Make sure the “Load  "glx"” is *not* commented-out.
Change it to:
        Load    "glx"

Also, is the "nvidia" kernel module loaded?  Try "/sbin/lsmod | grep
nvidia" and see if it's there.
