Wow, you had this problem after you installed the nvidia drivers?

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.
Had the same problem with 7900s, among many others. In
/etc/X11/xorg.conf edit both drivers from "nv" to "nvidia".
Tried that, now I have no video. Just shows the SuSE 10.1 boot screen
for a little bit then goes to black screen.
I, too, had that problem. The culprit turned out to be one of the
kde's, but I don't remember which one. Maybe kdebase3 or kdebase3-kdm. I
solve the problem by starting at level 3, invoking yast and reinstalling
some of the kde's. But you might try reinstalling kdebase3 and
kdebase3-kdm first. Had to do it again when I upgraded to kde 3.5.3 [grin]
