I use the "standard" nvidia install on RHELv4. It used to work just fine. I think it "broke" around the time nvidia released 8774. I think a new kernel also came out around the same time. But I hadn't noticed it for a while since I generally don't run video intensive applications. It was only when I ran google-earth that I noticed performance had degraded and looked into it. I'll be the first to admit that once I determined the problem and the simple work around I was too lazy to go back and dig to find the root cause. It took so little effort/time to determine what was wrong and how to get around it that I truly think it took me less than 10 minutes of effort, once I noticed a problem, out of a normally busy day.
Or maybe you updated your Mesa RPM which broke the GLX module. I know that I've never seen the need to hardcode the GLX module path in RHEL4. Something seems broken in your environment. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ L.
