That is *VERY* strange. I've used the NVIDIA installer on a number of systems, even x86_64, and have never witnessed this behavior. For starters, the GLX driver is *NOT* a kernel driver. depmod -a will not affect it. Something else is going on in your system.
I thought that GLX was a loadable X11 module, that had to be installed in the right place so X11 could then load it with the rest of the nvidia driver.
Yes. It's an X11 module, not a kernel module. /var/log/XFree86.0.log will tell you whether it's being loaded.
PS. did you have any problems with the latest kernel update not matching the kernel source code patch, and the nvidia driver compiling?
I had that issue with the only SuSE 8.1 machine with an nVidia card I've still got running. No problem with SuSE 8.2 or SuSE 9.0. The issue not being the difference in the version number but that the build symlink was going the wrong place. I did not issue make install after upgrading anywhere, I've confirmed that there's no glx problem on SuSE 8.2 or SuSE 9.0, but won't be able to get my hands on the SuSE 8.1 box until tomorrow.
