I'm doing some pretty GPU intensive graphical work, and I had failure
after failure running the repo's versions of the nVidia driver, under
Fedora. When I tried the nVidia supplied version, the ligGL problems
went away. Why, I have no clue. But, I lost a lot of devel time over the
issues and am still playing catch-up. I'm was running an older Geforce
FX-5200 with 128 megs of memory. Now, I'm running a 5800 with 256megs of
memory. 

I usually stay a step or two or three behind the latest hardware. I'm
just cheap! :) Ric
