Nvidia GLX extension loaded but failed to initialize

Hi Forum !

I have an OPTIMUS technology laptop with an NVIDIA / INTEL graphics cars combination. I use bumblebee to switch. So far, switching to the nvidia driver seems to work.
The problem is that glx-related programs (glxgears, glxinfo) fail to run:
Code:

mimis@goldberg:~$ glxinfo
name of display: :0
Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0".
Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0".
Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0".
Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0".
Segmentation fault

but

Code:

mimis@goldberg:~$ optirun glxgears
3409 frames in 5.0 seconds = 681.616 FPS
3751 frames in 5.0 seconds = 749.982 FPS

In my /var/log/Xorg.0.log I found the following (I believe it is related) :

[CODE][ 80 [ 15.696] (II) "glx" will be loaded by default.
88 [ 15.704] (II) LoadModule: "glx"
89 [ 15.704] (II) Loading /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/updates/extensions/libglx.so
90 [ 15.751] (II) Module glx: vendor="NVIDIA Corporation"
93 [ 15.751] (II) NVIDIA GLX Module 331.49 Wed Feb 12 20:17:10 PST 2014
94 [ 15.752] Loading extension GLX
368 [ 15.794] (EE) Failed to initialize GLX extension (Compatible NVIDIA X driver not found)
/CODE]

problems also appear with the dassault/draftsight vector drawing package (I get a "dead" window)

Any help will be greatly appreciated
