How much RAM did you have, before, to run X ? :-P

Did you get any error messages ?

The servers are, actually, made in a way that they print an error message and
create a core files if there is a problem, that's help us to debug them ...

The Mesa's rpm that we used is the 3.3-5 version and it use the version 7
of GL/glext.h. We didn't test it with any other version of mesa yet, but you
could try to download the lastest version of GL/glext.h at
http://oss.sgi.com/projects/ogl-sample/ABI/glext.h and recompile NeL.

An other solution is to remove the GL_GLEXT_VERSION checking in the 
configure.in file and in the src/3d/driver/opengl/driver_opengl_extension.h
file and try to recompile NeL ...

I hope that could help you to fixed your problem ...
