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. Stephen P.
