That's because Livna, like extras, is not sync-ed to > rawhide. Would you mind sharing exactly what you had to do? Or perhaps open a bug on bugzilla.livna.org. > P.S.

AFAIK there are no OpenGL applications in FC that don't pick up the Nvidia libGL.so.1 when it's installed via the livna.org rpms. /Peter
