Installing the nvidia driver over the top of these libs is the real culprit of your problem, the nvidia driver replaces *some* of the Mesa related stuff blindly, but not all, leaving libs to get in the way occasionally. > I tried removing the package, but it is required by too many other > packages.

This is a much better approach, using the rpm.livna.org package for the nvidia-glx libraries, and building your kernel module specifically from the sources in the nvidia driver. This leaves the Mesa libs alone, but just doesn't reference them (because the nvidia libs are loaded first). To convert from nvidia installer to this method, uninstall using nvidia installer, then restore Mesa (rpm -e --nodeps xorg-x11-Mesa-libGL, then yum install xorg-x11-Mesa-libGL). Follow instructions below after that. http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/showpost.php?p=106977&postcount=76 Also, this was discussed recently with some other suggestions, searching the list archives for "nvidia" should turn up lots of goodies (as well as searching fedora forum). Note, rebuilding the nvidia-glx srpm doesn't work yet (last I tried), but that would be the idea of what I'm suggesting above. > Thanks for all the help... > > -- > __o > _-\<,_ Brian > (_)/ (_) bikehead@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx x503 > -- Andrew Farris <andrew@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> <lordmorgul on freenode> - CPE student, Cal Poly SLO "..the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."
