[ATrpms-users] Missing Dependencies libX11.so.6 and libXext.so.6 needed by package nvidia-x11-drv

To expand a little.

I can see those two missing files under the /usr/lib64
directory. 

[root at musa ~]# locate libXext
/usr/lib64/libXext.so.6
/usr/lib64/libXext.so.6.4.0
[root at musa ~]# locate libX11
/root/libX11-1.0.3-8.fc7.x86_64.rpm
/usr/lib64/libX11.so
/usr/lib64/libX11.so.6
/usr/lib64/libX11.so.6.2.0


So, what gives? How come xorg-x11-drv.x86_64 cannot
find them and instead it is looking for them on the
i386 libs.

Does it mean that the nvidia binary driver works only
in  i386 mode?
Am I going to have to setup a parallel i386 system
just to be able to use the nvidia binary driver?
