I believe we just saw something like this.

You need to decide whether you want to use the XFree86 drivers (and the
GLX modules which came with your system's OpenGL libraries) or the whole
set of NVIDIA binary drivers (both the NVIDIA GLX module and the "NVIDIA"
module to be loaded by XFree86 -- both are available from NVIDIA's website).
I'm guessing that if you had run everything correctly (whether it be
installing the RPMs or executing the installation scripts found in the
gzipped tarfiles of the source), you would already be running the "NVIDIA"
module.
If you are sure that you have installed the "NVIDIA" module *as well as*
NVIDIA's GLX module, you may want to attempt to edit your XF86Config by
hand, to change the line:
Driver "nv"
to:
Driver "nvidia"
Don't bother trying this until you are sure you have installed both the
GLX module and the "NVIDIA" module.
