Lawson, At this point I'm only trying to back out of my abortive nVidia driver install and get back to the nv driver that came with my RedHat 7.3 distribution.
To do that, I recovered my old XF86Config-4 file. The rpm install for the driver commented out lib.GLcore.a and libglx.a, which I restored. Third, I wanted to uninstall the driver RPM. First, I used rpm -ql on NVIDIA_kernel to get the driver's name. The one return was /lib/modules/2.4.18-10/kernel/drivers/video/NVdriver. Then I ran: rpm -Uvh NVdriver. Unfortunately, "no such file." Apparently I can't run the x server without this uninstall, and apparently I'm not going about it in the right way. Unfortunately, nVidia's support list works through a web page, and since I've lost my X server, it does me no good (I used to rely on lynx, and now I see that I've got it on Linux! I'll try to use it to reach nVidia). My gnus gets into a loop (no fun when it happens from a terminal), and so I can't pursue these issues on an appropriate newsgroup unless I can somehow telnet into the newsgroup (something I've never tried). Wow; all this takes me back to my DOS days!
