Yes, I had the same problem; someone on this list posted a solution:
To make sure q3demo works:
as root
rm /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so*
ldconfig
I think a new installation of X creates these unneeded libGL.so* files
(unneeded because an installation of the Nvidia drivers creates them,
albeit in a different place) so you have to remove them.
Hope that works for you.
