Nvidia troubles again.....

Sorry to bug you all again, but I can't seem to work out what my problem is
(apart from a low IQ). ;)
I have updated my kernel to the latest version using up2date.
[root at mailgate root]# uname -srvpoi
Linux 2.4.22-1.2166.nptl #1 Fri Jan 30 13:52:48 EST 2004 athlon i386 GNU/Linux
And I used the latest .run file from the Nvidia website:
NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-5336-pkg1.run
Now, when I boot, I get into X fine, and I've been running for 24hrs with no
problem. However, I've just come to play my weekly game of Neverwinter with
some friends and I get this:
[root at mailgate nwn]# ./nwn
Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
Failed to initialize graphics.
Erk, obviously that's not good. I noticed this in my XFree86.0.log:
(EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to load GLX
Also, this I spotted in 'messages':

# To customise the XKB settings to suit your keyboard, modify the
# lines below (which are the defaults). For example, for a non-U.S.
# keyboard, you will probably want to use:
# Option "XkbModel" "pc102"
# If you have a US Microsoft Natural keyboard, you can use:
# Option "XkbModel" "microsoft"

# Then to change the language, change the Layout setting.
# For example, a german layout can be obtained with:
# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
# or:
# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
# Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
#
# If you'd like to switch the positions of your capslock and
# control keys, use:
# Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:swapcaps"

Lastly, I get this:
[root at mailgate root]# glxgears
Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual
It seems to me that GLX isn't loading - but I don't know how to get it to
load.
Any clues would be greatly received. Sorry for the long spammy post - but I
thought I'd include everything that I thought was relevant.
If this have been covered before - and I'm sure it just a stupid mistake -
just point me to the old thread.
Thanks
