Well, I got them working from source. I just manually deleted any old drivers for the /usr/lib/GL, and then just to make sure I ran "rpm -e NVIDIA_GLX". Then I rebooted to "init 3" and ran the "tar xfvz" of both packages, and cd'ed into their respective dir's and ran "make install". rebooted and ran Sax2 to see if it would run, it did. Then I booted into X and took the lines from my previous XF86Config file and pasted them into the new config file. Logged out of kde, restarted X, and no problems since. I suggest using the source/tar.gz files. Hopefully this will get you up and running. I don't know what the problem is, but I had to install the 2802 packages the same way. I think that SuSE is in a state of transition regarding the file sys/dir layout and this has alot to do with the problems I'm having. Cheers, Curtis.

I have similar results with NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-2802.suse71.i386.rpm NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-2880.suse71.i386.rpm
Including the "No Screens found" error.

In my case the Kernel module won't initialize and it also says no valid screen found. I ran "sax2 -m 0=nvidia" and sax can't intialize either, tells me to instal mesasoft package.
Something obviously isn't getting configed right for the kernel. My kernel is the default 2.4.16-4GB kernal for 7.3. I had a bit of a problem with the version before this, but it was related to GLX drivers and symlinks. I compile the source and made a few of my own symlinks and they worked. I just reinstall the 2802 drivers from source and it works. I know that SuSE has changes some of the sys config files to be put into 8.0 (e.g. change in the /etc files). I wonder if this isn't a case of the packages being configed for this environment by mistake.
