So lets see if you did everything right, you must have downloaded and 
installed two packages, one is NVIDIA_GLX...rpm (the specific one for suse 
7.1) and the other is NVIDIA_kernel... for this one if you downloaded the rpm 
one wich is precompiled it will only work with the precompiled suse kernel so 
if you compiled a custom version of the kernel (or a newer one) you have to 
download the source tar.gz file and compile it. Now verify that the module is 
loaded with /sbin/lsmod there must be a line with NVdriver.
Now with all that ok that should work (note that in my XF86Config-4 file I 
have in the module section the line
load "dbe"
don't remember what it is for but perhaps it is important.
