Since the upgrade to modular X my wife has not been able to view her
favourite screesaver (our cats.)  Whenever she runs the GLSlideshow
screensaver, she gets the following error:


Xlib extension GLX missing on display ":0.0"

glslideshow display :0.0 does not support the GLX extension

I googled for this error and everywhere I looked people were fixing this
error by installing proper nvidia modules.  My problem is that I know
nothing about nvidia or even device drivers in general.  Do I need to
compile nvidia drivers into her kernel?  If so, which ones?  Here's the
lspci output from her computer:
