Thanks, Tom.
I did not succeed setting up OpenGL hw acceleration on RH 7.0, so I switched
back to (officially supported) RH 6.2 and SGI ProPack1.3-VWE + patch10002.
It is important that you DO NOT REBOOT machine after ProPack1.3-VWE
and apply patch10002 (you can download both from sgi ftp site). Or you get a
corrupted partition and a crashed machine as I did. But I still have a problem
of getting 1600x1200 resolution on my monitor.
