P.S. I did get the NVidia stuff reinstalled. I just did rpm -qa | grep NV and removed everything it showed me was installed, then reinstalled.

Haven't tried removing PHP and Apache yet, but I did do: rpm --rebuilddb and still it gives me erroneous info when trying to install RPMs. Guess I'll try removing Apache/PHP and trying that next, but I don't see how they could corrupt my rpm db. Even so, why does "rpm -qa | grep whatever" tell me that something is installed, but "rpm -e whatever" tells me it is NOT installed?

I've been having trouble (ever since I tried to upgrade PHP and Apache, but that may be a coincidence) trying to install various packages. Here's an example: [root@localhost tmp]# rpm -Uvh opera-6.03-20020813.1-static-qt.i386.rpm error: failed dependencies: libXm.so.2 is needed by opera-6.03-20020813.1 [root@localhost tmp]# urpmf libXm.so.2 lesstif:/usr/X11R6/LessTif/Motif2.0/lib/libXm.so.2 lesstif:/usr/X11R6/LessTif/Motif2.0/lib/libXm.so.2.0.0 lesstif:/usr/X11R6/LessTif/Motif2.1/lib/libXm.so.2 lesstif:/usr/X11R6/LessTif/Motif2.1/lib/libXm.so.2.0.1 lesstif:/usr/X11R6/lib/libXm.so.2 lesstif:/usr/X11R6/lib/libXm.so.2.0.1 openmotif:/usr/X11R6/lib/libXm.so.2 openmotif:/usr/X11R6/lib/libXm.so.2.1 openmotif:/usr/lib/libXm.so.2 [root@localhost tmp]# locate libXm.so.* [root@localhost tmp]# locate libXm /usr/X11R6/lib/libXmu.so.6.2 /usr/X11R6/lib/libXm.so.3 /usr/X11R6/lib/libXmuu.so.1.0 /usr/X11R6/lib/libXmuu.so /usr/X11R6/lib/libXmu.so.6 /usr/X11R6/lib/libXmuu.so.1 /usr/X11R6/lib/libXm.so.3.0.1 /usr/X11R6/lib/libXmu.a /usr/X11R6/lib/libXmu.so /usr/X11R6/lib/libXmuu.a Although that could be a problem with the opera rpm. Also, attempting to reinstall my nvidia rpms (adding the v4l module killed it) tells me that it is already installed, but the glx driver will not load...X exits on signal 11 when I try to edit my XFConfig-4 file. Attempting to do rpm -e NVidia* or rpm -qa | grep NVidia tells me that it is not installed. Any thoughts on any of this? TIA [edit] Various other RPMs give me conflicting "not installed" or "already installed" errors. [/edit]
