Problem with Nvidia driver 169.12

[67GTA]

I installed the newest Nvidia driver in with some other updates today. Since then, I can't get direct rendering to work. I've run nvidia-xconfig and sax2 -r -m 0=nvidia with no luck. Compiz/XGL is working fine though. Has anyone else gotten this?

Works fine here with a GeForce 7600 GT.

Everything seems to be fine here also, but no 3D rendering. I reinstalled the driver with Yast. glxgears gives me the usual 3000 FPS. Now my mouse scroll wheel has stopped working after rebooting. I tried to run BilliardGL from the terminal and got an error:

This has got me stumped. I think I'll try installing it manually from Nvidia later and see if that works.

Someone at the suse forums helped me figure it out. The new driver installation set the window manager to use XGL as default. I changed it to use xorg and all is well. I'm still not sure why my mouse config changed. I couldn't find it in sax, so I loaded the live cd and copied it's xorg mouse config. Everything is cool now.
