i used to get segmentation errors when using OpenGL - it was because i hadnt
installed the kernel properly - there is a shell script called nv check
which checks if everything is installed ok
get it at : http://www.lokigames.com/~heimdall/nvidia/nv_check.sh
just cd to the dir and type :
$ sh nv_check.sh
oh year - with rpms you may want to type :
$ rpm -i NV_GLX.blahblah.rpm --nodeps --force
this will force the install of rpms even if your system says it is already
installed
