    I finally got around to updating MythTV to the current 023.1-241 packages.
    Along the way I updated my two frontend hosts from CentOS 5.4 to 5.5 along
    with the current kernel. Both have Nvidia graphics and I updated to the
    current nvidia-graphics260.19.21 driver on both.

    On one host the upgrade went without a hitch. On the other X wouldn't come 
up.
    I finally narrowed it down to a missing symlink:
    /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers/nvidia_drv.so. Once I manually created the
    symlink to nvidia-graphics-260.19.21/nvidia-graphics-260.19.21_drv.so
    <http://nvidia-graphics-260.19.21_drv.so>, X came
    up fine.

    I don't know if this was user error or a bug. I was able to use
    nvidia-graphics-switch to switch over to the older 190.53 driver and then
    successfully boot into the older kernel. The symlink *was* created with the
    older driver. But switching to the newer driver would cause the symlink to
    vanish.

    But, on the working host, the symlink was created as expected.


Thinks have changed. Please, read this old message and see if the problems go
away:

As I mentioned, I manually created the link and X came right up. I wonder why the driver update and symlink worked on one host but not another.

Did you do the version of your script for RHEL that you mentioned in your 
posting?
