Hi Geoff,

Here's what I have for NVIDIA shared libraries:

[root at linuxserv usr]# find . -name "*NVIDIA*" -print
./lib64/libXvMCNVIDIA_dynamic.so
./lib64/libXvMCNVIDIA.a
./lib64/libXvMCNVIDIA.so.173.14.25
./lib64/libXvMCNVIDIA_dynamic.so.1
./share/doc/NVIDIA_GLX-1.0
./share/doc/NVIDIA_GLX-1.0/NVIDIA_Changelog
