Ok, now that i'v e had some time at the computer I'll give a proper
response using VMD 1.8.7
below is

a) VMD output as user Bishop w/ and w/out xorg.conf composite on
 and user root

b) cat /proc/driver/nvidia/version"

c) glxinfo

d) some package info namely rpm --verify
this provides some cluues.
NOTE: I just used yast2 gui to force update before running
rpm --verify.
