I doubt that you saw it on 5.4. It uses the 5.x libraries natively.

This guy says that you don't need compat5x to get it done.
That is very new if it is right.

And curiosity -> i don't have glxinfo utility anymore. I'm checking via xdpyinfo and looking for extensions (besides, apps like tuxracer won't work without GLX). Glxinfo is part of MESA port? Hmm...i didn't have MESA installed on my 5.4, yet i had glxinfo.
Installing MESA et al has gotten to be a bit odd. You have to install X, then mesa and mesa-demos (I might not have the names quite right; glxgears is in the latter) and then install the nvidia driver. If you don't do it in that order, you can't install mesa, since the libraries are wrong and the compilation fails.

If you did try to install mesa after nvidia, you might try reinstalling nvidia. You might have messed up the GLX libraries.
