OK, I've got it working now. I got an srpm from
http://bismarck-ent.com/~stiletto/ and modified
it for TNT hw accel, and I've been running the
stock Mandrake XF86_SVGA with the newly compiled
glx.so & libGL.so.1.0. I've put up some rpms at
http://www.ados.com/~marxom for anybody that
doesn't want to compile it themselves. I've
included an i586 and an i686 version, plus rpms
for Matrox hw accel also (I no idea if they
work, but if they do, great :). Hope this helps
some people out, so they don't have the same
problems I did.
