Greetings,
The problem you're most likely running into is that you are intending to
use the NVidia driver but due to Mesa (a broken one that RedHat ships with
rh7) being previously installed on your system, you're somehow falling
back to using the Mesa libraries (most likely due to symlinks pointing
to the Mesa libraries). If you intended to use Mesa, then you
need to grab Mesa-3.3-7 which is available in RedHat's ftp site in their
rawhide directory. If you intended to use NVidia's drivers, please read
their FAQ. Here is an excerpt from their FAQ which may help:
-- 5.2 InstallationInstallation always requires you to be logged in as 'root'.
IMPORTANT! This RPM may have some conflicts with some Mesa rpms. Because there are multiple Mesa rpm distributions and there is no standard in naming of the Mesa rpms, libraries, and their location, we are not listing Mesa rpms as incompatible with our rpm. It is your responsibility to remove previously installed Mesa RPMS, or rename Mesa files that conflict with ours. Our rpm, however, will try to notify you that these conflicts exist, on a file-by-file basis.
Specifically, the following files may cause problems:
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libGLcore.a /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libglx.a /usr/lib/libGL.so /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so* /usr/X11R6/lib/libGLcore.so*
The installation of the RPM is going to fail if it finds any of the above files, and ask you to rename or remove them. After you've taken care of them, you would have to use the --force option while installing the RPM, because rpm thinks the package is already installed even if the installation failed.
Long-term, this renaming of Mesa files will not be necessary, but for this release, this was the cleanest solution possible. You can verify that the correct XFree86 server modules load by looking at your XFree86.0.log file (typically located in /var/log), and ensuring that the copyright for the glx module is "NVIDIA Corporation".
-- Essentially, remove any trace of Mesa first, then install NVidia's GLX rpm. hope that helps, tom
