It sounds like your nvidia driver isn't installed properly. I had a  
heck of a time getting mine working. I finally uninstalled anything  
that mentioned nvidia, reboot, then reinstall and it finally started  
working for me. Sorry I can't be of any more help than that, but at  
some point I was getting what you were getting. Along with everything  
looking ok, but no OpenGL stuff. Then inversed colors and X  
crashing.. finally a good install. Oh, and I think I read somewhere  
to disable dri, so I did that as well.
