nVIDIA Problem

SuSE 8.1 system. I just downloaded and installed the NVIDIA_kernel and NVIDIA_GLX 4349 rpm's and installed them. I made the appropriate edits to the XF86Config file.

When I run startx the screen goes black and nothing happens. It's necessary to reboot to regain control.

If I change "nvidia" back to "nv" XWindows will start, but if I run gears I get the message:

OpenGL GLX extensions not supported by display : 0.0

The 8.1 distribution drivers supported OpenGL.

I also tried nVIDIA's new install method for the drivers and got the same result - it didn't work

Any suggestions will be welcomed

Thanks in advance.
