lspci | grep VGA

You should see the busID is 0:3:0.

Using sudo, add this into your xorg.conf like so:

Section "Device"
    Identifier     "Device0"
    Driver         "nvidia"
    VendorName     "NVIDIA Corporation"
    BoardName      "GRID K520"
    BusID           "0:3:0"
EndSection

This should fix GLX failures.
