Not sure I follow this thread..but here goes.

1. I don't understand the op's first post comment re: applied patches &
resulting failure? I do not use Red Hat so don't know the reference.

2. The vendor NVIDIA drivers have been the canonical driver and setup
for my quadro cards...by far.

3. glx -SGI is the library, I think Mesa with origins from SGI,
/usr/lib/xxx;

libglx.so is my Nvidia library../usr/lib/nvidia/libglx.so
