No problems here. The glx tarball does everything for you. The steps
related to Mesa that are needed with rpms are obsolete. The library
links should be set up by ldconfig automatically. I you read carefully,
you'll see that a /renaming/ of libMesaGL* is not needed anyway, you
remove them (not needed when installng from tarball)

------------------------------------
5.2.2 Install from tar file
Using the tar file simply requires untarring the file, and typing 'make'
in the resulting directory. The Makefile will remove conflicting
libraries, install the libraries into the correct location for you, then
run "ldconfig"
------------------------------------
did you remember to change
Driver "nv"
to
Driver "nvidia"
in your XF86Config or XF86Config-4?
You should reread the instructions carefully. It would help if you
posted the relevant (not working) sections of your
/var/log/XFree86.0.log for inspection
