If using the nvidia drivers rather than the stock nv driver
Load "glx" is added to the module config section of XF86Config-4 by the
installation of of the NVIDIA_GLX rpm but the driver designation in said
file must still be manually changed from "nv" to Nvidia"
Both entries are necessary for X to work with the nvidia drivers.
It can be done in the manner Tom used but I have a strong aversion to
doing a force install.
I prefer editing XF86Config-4, rpm -e the current nvidia rpms, rebooting
the new kernel to init 3, rebuild and then install the nvidia rpms, edit
again XF86Config-4 and then switch to init 5 where I am greeted by the
nvidia splash screen.
