I hit a problem a while back when upgrading. I upgraded the kernel first to make sure that it worked, including the nvidia driver. When this worked I upgraded the rest of the system, including X. This overwrote the openGL library that nvidia installs.
To be fair, that definitely sounds like a distribution problem.
An openGL package shouldn't be overwriting files owned by the nvidia package. Can't really blame nvidia for that one.
It's the other way around. The nvidia package overwrites the glx library /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so in the X distribution. Upgrading X breaks the nvidia driver unless it is always immediately reinstalled. -- Anthony Shipman Mamas don't let your babies als@iinet.net.au grow up to be outsourced.
