Looking at the log and conf information below and the fact that I have
FC4 upgraded from RH9 system, I think that I still have the old
libglx.so XFree86 module, instead of the Xorg one. If so, I wonder how
this happened and what I should do to correct it?

Actually, it seems you have the "nvidia" driver installed and are using
the "nv" driver.

Go to /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions and do "ls -l".  I suspect you
will see libglx.so is a link to libglx.so.1.0.5336.
Yes I did have the nvidia driver when it was a RH9 system. I presumed the nvidia driver was removed with the removal of the 2.4.* RH9 kernel. The libglx.so appears to be a remnant of the RH9 that was left there when the FC4 upgrade decided that my TNT would not support GLX.

That is why I was asking how to get the real xorg libglx.so

Any suggestions welcome.
