	Yeah, I apologize that I don't have the actual answers for you, I'm 
just a user. :)
	When I looked in Synaptic, IIRC, the version numbers were the same for 
glx and glx-envy.?.
	Another difference is I'm using Gnome, and you've got KDE. Shouldn't 
make a difference, though. I think... Oh, and you're using 64bit vs 32 
for me...
	The last thing I can think of, if you have the time & inclination, is 
to remove all nvidia proprietary packages, remove any xorg.conf & 
xorg.config files, and start from fresh. Have a spare HDD around to test on?
