What Nvidia card are you having? Why can't you download the drivers from the official nvidia site?
Did you do a lspci command to see whether your card is being recognised by your OS?

Softimage opens and everything works fine, except the viewport is not displaying geometry only bounding boxes. The steps for the installation where: Install Centos 6.3 Install Nvidia Drivers from ELREPO (noveau driver is blacklisted) reboot Yum Update Install Softimage edit /etc/hosts Softimage opens giving following error and no geometry on viewport: ' libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast ' libGL error: Try again with LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose for more details. ' WARNING : HQV has been disabled because latest shader profile isn't supported. Runing XSI with LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose gives the following error: ' libGL: screen 0 does not appear to be DRI2 capable ' libGL: OpenDriver: trying /usr/lib64/dri/swrast_dri.so ' libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast ' WARNING : HQV has been disabled because latest shader profile isn't supported. Steps taken after this: Installed ELREPO nvidia support for 32bit apps, (nvidia-x11-drv-32bit) Manually blacklisted noveau drivers again (but i found that they were already blacklisted) My guess is that Softimage is not finding the libGL.so provided by nvidia? which is in: /usr/lib64/nvidia/libGL.so /usr/lib64/nvidia/libGL.so.1 /usr/lib64/nvidia/libGL.so.310.44 So symlinking the libraries from: /usr/lib64/libGL.so /usr/lib64/libGL.so.1 /usr/lib64/libGL.so.1.2.0 To the nVidia ones, should do the trick? or is something totally different?? Do I have to compile the nvidia drivers? I don't like the idea of recompile on every kernel update.
