Nvidia GTS and Xfree86 4.02 problems

Good day, Having major problems getting this one to work. I follow the instructions but can never get the NVidia driver to load (it shows up on lsmod). The last time I tried I got a strange modprobe query. I loaded the NVidia driver via insmod, then tried modprobe, still came up saying that the module was not loaded, tried modprobe again and it seemed to load it again! Lsmod showed the module was loaded, but moprobe did not complain to say it was loaded already. /etc/modules.conf has the NVidia line installed... Anyone got any ideas? this is frustrating...I am using the sources of the SuSE ftp site. With many thanks, Matthew
