This command will tell you the order that packages were installed (most
recent first):

	rpm -qa --last | less

Off the top of my head, I'd expect to find that either the X11 packages
(xorg-x11-*) or the Mesa packages (mesa-libGL*) were replaced.


Another useful option for rpm is to verify all of the installed packages:

	rpm -Va

That might give a hint as to what has been broken.
