Here is a sequence that I have found works every time: # Remove this RPM if you want the GL screen savers # to work. Do this before the next steps. rpm -e --nodeps XFree86-Mesa-libGL # Run this to create a custom version of the NVidia driver ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4496-pkg2.run --add-this-kernel # The above will create a custom version for the kernel # So now run this as a final step ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4496-pkg2-custom.run Don't forget to make the required changes in XF86Config.
