Thanks for the reply Jon
Well I am using openSuSE11.2 RC2 and X is using
NVIDIA-Linux-x86-190.32-pkg1.run
kernel which I compiled with my CPU type and not i586. So I have
2.6.31.5 and it is in /lib/modules/2.6.31.5 and /boot
I am running NVs .run mentioned above. I suspect it is the problem. I
do have a NV bootsplash and glxgears fails (as suspected)
~> glxgears
glxgears: Error: glXCreateContext failed.
I am compiling as I type a true kernel.org 2.6.31.5 and will try with is
a 180.17.run after rebooting
