you mean used, right?

log shows it being loaded:

(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions//libglx.so
(II) Module glx: vendor="NVIDIA Corporation"
 compiled for 4.0.2, module version = 1.0.0
 Module class: X.Org Server Extension
(II) NVIDIA GLX Module 177.70 Wed Aug 27 13:16:51 PDT 2008

nvidia not being used is the observed behavior. Is it expected / desired?
