It's possible. The nvidia driver is loaded and used by X.  

The various builds find their correct libraries:

$ for all in /home/kevin/kitware/ParaView3_*Build/bin/paraview ; do  echo $all ; ldd $all | grep libGL.so ;done
/home/kevin/kitware/ParaView3_Build/bin/paraview
	libGL.so.1 => /home/kevin/mesa/lib64/libGL.so.1 (0x00007f7d69cd0000)
/home/kevin/kitware/ParaView3_mesa_7.0.3_Build/bin/paraview
	libGL.so.1 => /home/kevin/Mesa-7.0.3/lib64/libGL.so.1 (0x00007f1a39c59000)
/home/kevin/kitware/ParaView3_nvidia_Build/bin/paraview
	libGL.so.1 => /usr/lib64/nvidia/libGL.so.1 (0x0000003d2b800000)

Mesa was not built with DRI. I thought that DRI was the 
only way to get _any_ sort of acceleration with mesa.

Acording to lspci the graphics hardware is a :
nVidia Corporation Quadro NVS 290 (rev a1)

I'm using gcc (GCC) 4.3.0 20080428 (Red Hat 4.3.0-8) which Hythloth is not.
I suppose I could try a different compiler just for yucks.
