Yes, I also noticed that after I had removed the Mesa-libGL package that I couldn't install the xawtv RPM. It was complaining about not finding libGL.so.1. So even if the nVidia script does install a libGL.so.1 somewhere, it's not where the xawtv RPM expects to find it. And I suspect that this same failed dependency might happen with other packages I might want to install. To fix it I 1) uninstalled the nVidia script (nvidia-installer --uninstall) 2) reinstalled XFree86-Mesa-libGL 3) reinstalled the nVidia script once again 4) simply removed the files from /usr/X11R6/lib/tls/libGL* All seems to be well now.
