The only drawback I found is that either enabling game-mode or setting geometry leads to veeeery low framerates (probably due to software rendering?). Other than that, flightgear runs smoothly on a window with above than 50 fps on a Geforce2.
It looks like flightgear got linked against a /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.a presumable from Mesa (it comes from XFree86-devel.xxx.rpm) instead of /usr/lib/libGL.so from NVidia. So for everybody upgrading to RedHat 7.3, just make a symbolic link for libGL.so into /usr/X11R6/lib/ dir after installing your NVIDIA_GLX rpm. Just in case copy your NVidia GL headers into /usr/include/GL. To put it in a nutshell: rpm -U NVIDIA_GLX.* ln -s /usr/lib/libGL.so /usr/X11R6/lib/ cp /usr/share/doc/NVIDIA_GLX/include/GL/* /usr/include/GL/ After that, just compile plib, Simgear and flighgear as usual. Hope this helps others as well.
