[rhn-users] Problem with GLX using NVidia drivers

I have three nvidia cards which were working well up until a few days
ago. 3D acceleration was working using the driver provided by nvidia
(v. 1.0-8178) in the .run file.
The other day I attempted to start a second X server in order to test
the performance of a game (America's Army). I used the command
xinit /usr/local/games/armyops/armyops -- /usr/bin/Xorg :1
as I was instructed that this is how it is done. It did seem to start a
second X server but the game never came up.
I just left it sitting there until I rebooted thinking it would simply
go away at that point.
However, now I can't get 3D acceleration working. When I run glxinfo I
get this:
X Error of failed request: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)
Major opcode of failed request: 147 (NV-GLX)
Minor opcode of failed request: 4 ()
Resource id in failed request: 0x2400002
Serial number of failed request: 21
Current serial number in output stream: 21
I've looked at numerous variations on numerous search strings in Google
using the above information. I have not found a solution.
I installed 5 RPMs entitled nvidia-graphics8178,
nvidia-graphics-helpers, nvidia-graphics-devices,
nvidia-graphics8178-kmdl, and nvidia-graphics8178-libs. I then
uninstalled the driver provided by nvidia in the .run file and rebooted.
The nvidia splash screen still came up and X is working. However, I
still get the above error from glxinfo.
Any insight will be appreciated.
