The sw-only version of Mesa that redHat ships with RH7 is broken.  
You need Mesa-3.3-7.  They should be up on Rawhide by now.  I have a
mirror on my web page (reality.sgi.com/flynnt).  The new version will get
rid of your segfault.  Then, for installing the Geforce drivers, I
recommend removing /usr/lib/libGL.* (don't remove libGLU), _then_
installing NVidia's driver.  

hope that helps,
tom
