Nvidia install issues

I tried for the last few days to get help from Nvidia, but they don't
seem to care. So I'm going to try here now.

I have 2 7800GTX video cards that work great in SLI mode in Windows.
However, in the same box under Suse 10.1 I have no 3D after installing
the 1.0-8762 drivers. I had no trouble installing the driver, except
when it came to working with the x server. It flashed a couple of times
after I installed the driver and started x and it said that I was on
Display 2 and that the configuration was on Display 1, even though I my
monitor is plugged into the DVI jack that is used for my SLI setup for
Windows.

When I try to run glxgears, this is what I get:
Kenny@Archimedes:~> glxgears
Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
glxgears: Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual.

This is what I get when I try to configure SaX after I installed the
drivers then run "sax2 -r -m 0=nvidia"

SaX: no X-Server is running.
Sax: will start own server if needed
SPP: prepare device [1] profile: Depth 24
SPP: prepare device [1] profile: NVidia
SPP: prepare device [1] profile script: NVidia
SPP: prepare device [0] profile: Depth 24
SPP: prepare device [0] profile: NVidia
SPP: prepare device [0] profile script: NVidia
SPP: including prepared profiles...

SaX: startup

Then my command prompt.

Just for grins and giggles I plugged my monitor into the other 3 DVI
ports and got no video output (wasn't really expecting any, just
thought that I would try).

According to my logs X is trying to use 'nv' instead of 'nvidia'. It
looks as if for some reason the Nvidia drivers aren't "taking". Which
makes sense since I can't even get to the point to test my display then
save it in SaX.

Any help would be appreciated.
