Thanks for your reply! The problem was solved in release 3 of
nvidia-x11-drv. However, another problem has emerged, and I think this
is SELinux related too. If I run in enforcing mode, X instantly
crashes if I run glxinfo or any other GL-related application. In
permissive mode everything is fine. In enforcing mode, I find an error
in Xorg.0.log saying that the GLX module cannot be loaded. I suspect
this might be because of some mislabeling of the nvidia library files,
but I am no SELinux expert, so I cannot say for sure. If somebody has
a solution to this, I would be grateful, otherwise I will continue my
search for a solution.
