After update, OpenGL does not work until reboot 
Whenever I do a big system update, OpenGL stops working until the next reboot. This also prevent OpenGL apps from launching. Example:

```
$ glxgears 
X Error of failed request:  BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
  Major opcode of failed request:  151 (GLX)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  3 (X_GLXCreateContext)
  Value in failed request:  0x0
  Serial number of failed request:  28
  Current serial number in output stream:  29
```

This goes away when I reboot. How can I make it go away without rebooting?
