It seems this package broke my NVidia drivers ...

[bgmilne@bgmilne bgmilne]$ rpm -qi XFree86|awk '/Install date/ {print $4
" " $5 " " $6 " " $7}'

I wasn't in on Friday (updates run from cron ...), but yesterday after
rebooting this machine (to remove my hard disk tray), X wouldn't come
up. I am still running:

[bgmilne@bgmilne bgmilne]$ rpm -q --whatprovides kernel
kernel-2.4.19.16mdk-1-1mdk

(for win4lin)

with:
[bgmilne@bgmilne bgmilne]$ rpm -qa "NVIDIA*"
NVIDIA_kernel-2.4.19-16mdk-1.0-2960.1mdk
NVIDIA_GLX-1.0-2960.1mdk

(besides the kernel, this machine runs full cooker with about a 1 day
lag due to our mirror ..)

Works fine with the nv driver, but I need opengl, so I guess I will need
to try newer NVidia drivers. Anyone else seen this? Austin?
