Fedora 11 update problem

[Roger]

I use Fedora 11 latest updates and kernel & headers updated today.

The last 2 Fedora 11 kernel updates circa (2.6.29.6-217.2.7.fc11.i586) 
will not start Blender 2.49a on my machine.
The  Blender screen flashes on for about half a second.
Starting from a terminal shows:
  ./blender
Compiled with Python version 2.6.
Checking for installed Python... got it!
X Error of failed request:  GLXUnsupportedPrivateRequest
   Major opcode of failed request:  152 (GLX)
   Minor opcode of failed request:  16 (X_GLXVendorPrivate)
   Serial number of failed request:  244
   Current serial number in output stream:  247
Segmentation fault

Have reverted back to kernel (2.6.29.6-217.2.3.fc11.i586)
yum search for nvidia doesn't show updates for 2.6.29.6-217.2.7

Is there a workaround please
Thanks
