Ok. Today I updated my kernel to the new that was on Suse online update kernel 2.6.11-4-21. And before I did I had the new Nvidia driver 7667. Well once I updated to the new kernel I lost X. Well I finaly got X back by installing the Nvidia driver that came with Suse the old 7167 that was out like back in December. Well every time now I go to install the Nvidia driver 7667 I get this error message and it tells me to look in my log for the Nvidia installer and this is what is says:

-> There appears to already be a driver installed on your system (version: 1.0-
7167). As part of installing this driver (version: 1.0-7667), the existing
driver will be uninstalled. Are you sure you want to continue? ('no' will a
bort installation) (Answer: Yes)
-> No precompiled kernel interface was found to match your kernel; would you li
ke the installer to attempt to download a kernel interface for your kernel f
rom the NVIDIA ftp site (ftp://download.nvidia.com)? (Answer: Yes)
-> No matching precompiled kernel interface was found on the NVIDIA ftp site;
this means that the installer will need to compile a kernel interface for
your kernel.
ERROR: The kernel header file
'/lib/modules/2.6.11.4-21.7-default/build/include/linux/kernel.h' does
not exist. The most likely reason for this is that the kernel source
path '/lib/modules/2.6.11.4-21.7-default/build' is incorrect. Please
make sure you have installed the kernel source files for your kernel; on
Red Hat Linux systems, for example, be sure you have the 'kernel-source'
rpm installed. If you know the correct kernel source files are
installed, you may specify the kernel source path with the
'--kernel-source-path' commandline option.
ERROR: Installation has failed. Please see the file
'/var/log/nvidia-installer.log' for details. You may find suggestions
on fixing installation problems in the README available on the Linux
driver download page at www.nvidia.com.
Well I went to /lib/modules/2.6.11.4-21.7-default/build/include/linux/kernel.h and its right /include dir is not there only thing in build is Module.symvers. How do I get the installer to work? How do I get its kernel source? Why can't it build its own like it says it needs to do? Please help me I really need OpenGL 2.0 that 7667 comes with. Games like Ut2004 and Enemy Territory run a lot better.
Cant get Nvidia 7667 drivers to install!
