Why install the RPM package for the nVidia GLX driver and not get the nvidia-glx-src package and build it along with the nvidia-kernel-src package for the kernel patch... That is what I have working here on my AMD 1Ghz Athalon at work with a nVidia GeForce2 MX card... I haven't upgraded the kernel yet as I'm preparing to do a re-install because of some harddrive issues but I currently have nvidia-glx-src and nvidia-kernel-src 1.0.2960-1 compiled against a custom 2.4.18 kernel with EVMS and VLAN patches applied... This is working wit XFree86 4.1.0 as well... I haven't install'd any of the 4.2 pre-release packages on this machine...
