Hi Matt,
The "Overlay Windows" message isn't the cause of your problem...it just
happens to be the last thing that was spit out before the crash.
Providing a stack trace would be helpful in determining where it crashed.
However, before you go that far, please check your symbolic links in
/usr/lib/. Please make sure that you are definately using NVidia's driver
and not the Mesa that was installed by RedHat 7. In fact, just to be
sure, I would remove the libGL.* libraries (don't remove libGLU) and
re-install NVidia's GLX rpm and make sure that only the libGL's that are
listed in NVidia's rpm are the only ones installed on the system.
I have a system just like you're in my little lab. I also ran into the
problem with the symbolic links myself, corrected them and perfly was
fine.
hope that helps,
tom
