My understanding is that NVIDIA provides its own glx extension during 
the driver installation:

locate nvidia | grep glx
/usr/lib/nvidia/libglx.so.xserver-xorg-core

(on a PC with Nvidia card), but the generic libglx should work for other 
cards. I do not have experience with Matrox, but ATI didn't give 
problems during installation. Sorry if this doesn't help much...
