Using the --nodeps flag is definately not the right way to do it, a lot of packages depend on libGL.so.1, which XFree86-Mesa-libGL provides. There are two ways you can do this properly: 1. Build an RPM for the NVIDIA driver which provides libGL.so.1 itself (http://rebus.webz.cz/ has a source RPM) 2. Follow Nils O.'s advice and install XFree86-Mesa-libGL with --justdb The source RPM is probably the cleanest, since you'll have a database which is coherent with the filesystem, but the --justdb alternative makes it possible to just use the NVIDIA installer, which is a bit easier than building RPM's with every new driver. -- Trond Are Haugland <trondare@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Phone: +47 21 60 48 83 Trolltech AS
