Upgrade Mesa to 3.3-7 or higher? The Mesa that RedHat ships with rh7 is
broke. You need to upgrade to 3.3-7 or higher otherwise perfly will
segfault. The "Overlay windows not supported uner Linux" is just the
last message you'll see before it segfaults and actually has nothing
to do with the reason why it segfaults. Rpms for 3.3-7 should be on
RedHat's ftp site under rawhide.
I also have a link to those rpms from my reality web page
(http://reality.sgi.com/flynnt) along with a couple of links to some
articles from evil3d.net that talk about installing the NVidia driver
under Linux.
hope that helps,
tom
