470 works. From the running machine with 470 i follow the GLX module 
from Xorg.0.log like this:

$ grep -i glx /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[    90.930] (II) LoadModule: "glx"
[    90.932] (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/amd64/libglx.so
[    90.986] (II) Module glx: vendor="NVIDIA Corporation"
[    90.986] (II) NVIDIA GLX Module  470.141.03  Thu Jun 30 18:38:53 UTC 
2022
[    93.742] (II) Initializing extension GLX
[    93.742] (II) Indirect GLX disabled.

$ ls -l /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/amd64/libglx.so
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root          55 Apr  9  2018 
/usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/amd64/libglx.so -> 
../../../../../../var/run/opengl/server/amd64/libglx.so

$ ls -l /var/run/opengl/server/amd64/libglx.so

/usr/X11/lib/modules/extensions/NVIDIA/amd64/libglx.so

Where does the link in /var/run come from ?

Maybe within my BE with the 515 driver version this link points to 
something different.
i will do a reboot this evening to see whats there, as "beadm mount" 
will not provide the link right now..
