XF86VidModeGetAllModeLines

[rrx]

Trying to run a *commercial* program using opengl I get:
((...))
> > File "/usr/local/bn/src/seattle.py", line 18, in ?

I find that GLUT.so (supplied by the vendor) is dynamically linked against libGL.so which on my system (RHEL 5.2) is *not* not dynamically linked against libXxf86vm.so
but expects the X driver to supply that function (which it apparently doesn't):

The installed nvidia driver is that from NVIDIA-Linux-x86-96.43.09-pkg0.run.

Any ideas?

libXxf86vm.so is a standard Xorg/Xfree86 library and it should be shipped by your linux distribution. Since the availability of XRandR the xf86vidmode library isn't installed by default on a lot of systems.
