I forgot to mention that I *did* change "nv" to "nvidia". When I do that and restart X, I get a garbled screen and the keyboard stops functioning. I have to telnet into the box and reboot it. If I leave the setting and reboot, it appears as if the X Server attempts to start 3 times and fails, because I can see the screen flash between the text and a blank screen before it goes back to the text screen. Changing back to "nv" allows X to start...
I'm not following this thread really but just wanted to say I have weird behaviour with KDE (maybe with any desktop actually) when I set nvidia instead of nv. When I go to console mode, for example, I got a strange screen.. I can come back to KDE but switching again to console is the same. When I shutdown/restart the computer I keep seeing the X cursor and cannot view the console shutting down sequence. It is not really a problem has I know the system works well, but I'm using consoles quite often and I have to reboot to be able to go to console mode (sometimes the switching problem doesn't occur). That's my story :)) Ju.

Ok, now it's my turn :-)
I downloaded the latest NVIDIA drivers for SuSE and installed them. I then ran the switch2nv_glx shell script.
I added "glx" to the Loaded Modules in XF86Config, and then restarted X.
I noticed that the xconsole indicated the following: Jun 4 10:12:31 linux kernel: NVRM: loading NVIDIA kernel module version 1.0-1251
Now when I attempt to run gears, I get the following error message: Xlib: extension "NV-GLX" missing on display ":0.0". Segmentation fault
If I try to enable and run an OpenGL screensaver, I get the KDE Krash handler.
Here is the portion of my XF86Config file for the TNT2 Ultra card: Section "Device" BoardName "Riva TNT2 Ultra" Driver "nv" Identifier "Device[0]" Screen 0 VendorName "Nvidia" EndSection
Change: Driver "nv" to be Drive "nvidia" and that should work.
Good luck! -Steven
