That is very new if it is right.

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.
I have a small textfile in /nvidia-driver/ which describes howto
install stuff (the X , mesa*, nvidia-driver process above (in that
order probably)), but includes additional ports like libGLU etc. If
I knew it to be accurate I would post it. I use nvidia-driver without
problems but everytime X loads I receive a "agp.ko detected,
load (...) aborted!" which someday I will find out how to fix.
everything seems to work...
