Krish & Paul, Many thanks for the quick advice. I have downloaded the mesa-libGL-6.5.1-7.2.el5.x86_64.rpm from the RH network to my desktop. However, a "smart" window pops up reporting that "a newer version than /home/jjuranek/Desktop/mesa-libGL-6.5.1-7.2.el5.x86_64.rpm is already installed". I select "OK" anyway, but a new window pops-up reporting that "No packages were given for installation". How do I over-ride the "smart" system to install the legacy driver I need to make sure that everything is installed in the proper place(s) to make tksurfer happy again?
Thanks so much, Jenifer
I don't understand why you got a mesa-libGL rpm and are trying to install it? I think doing so could really mess up your system so it is a good thing it is not letting you.
My email was about adding
Section "Extensions" Option "Composite" "Disable" EndSection
to your /etc/X11/xorg.conf assuming you are using the propreitary NVIDIA driver. Which you should also upgrade to the latest one.

Paul, Actually, I did follow your suggestion *first* to add the 3 lines to X11/xorg.conf (see tailed file below). However, after reboot, the same problem persisted. So I followed Krish's advice to look at a previous thread which referenced the mesa-libGL-*.rpm files @ MGH.
My mistake for not knowing which postings are system-dependent...I'm *very* glad the "smart" system prevented me from making things worse!
Any follow-up advice to resolve my problem?
Many Thanks, Jenifer

Do you see any warnings (WW) or errors (EE) in your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file?
What does running 'glxinfo' say?
