As I understand, this IS the library problem, caused by the Mesa-libGL
getting found before the nVidia libGL.  (perhaps I'm confused, but I
have seen the Xlib: .. XFree86-DRI error go away when correcting my
libs.. i.e. removing Mesa-libGL)

Its also possible you've still got the Load "DRI" line uncommented in
XF86Config.
