Hi,
I experience a crash of X server when I try to run something using openGL. I'm not sure if my approach is correct. I'm using nvidia drivers and I removed the Mesa packages from my system.
You shouldn't remove the Mesa stuff from your system. You should also make sure you're using the livna nvidia packages - stay away from the nvidia binary modules, since they will not install properly on a Fedora system.
After this there still seem to be some links left wich where installed by xorg-x11-devel-6.8.2-31
/usr/lib64/libGL.so /usr/lib/libGL.so
The point where they link to doesn't exist anymore so I linked the first one the nvidia provided one. There is however no 32bit one supplied with my driver. What do I need to do with the link /usr/lib/libGL.so ?
This link is only needed to compile stuff against the GL library. The fact that it's not linked to anything is a bug, IMHO, but this isn't going to get fixed until X is modularized (I've asked). It should be linked to your Mesa libGL (which you should install back). However, that doesn't explain why your system crashes...
Do /sbin/ldconfig -p|grep libGL ...
