OpenGL woes

Folks (particulary Lonnie a/o Kurt):

Running an NVidia card.  Recently upgraded the kernel and of course
had to run through the NVIDIA installer.  However, now (as opposed to
prior to the upgrade, when OpenGL worked) I seem to have a problem
with some programs.

Some output:
init: sdl
init: enet
init: video: mode
Unable to create OpenGL screen: Could not create GL context

A quick tail of /var/log/Xorg.0.log shows:
(II) NVIDIA(0): Setting mode "640x480"
(II) NVIDIA(0): Setting mode "1440x900+0+0"
(II) 3rd Button detected: disabling emulate3Button
FreeFontPath: FPE "/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc" refcount is 3, should be
2; fixing.
(II) Open ACPI successful (/var/run/acpid.socket)
(II) APM registered successfully
(II) NVIDIA(0): Initialized GPU GART.
(II) NVIDIA(0): Setting mode "1440x900+0+0"
(II) NVIDIA(0): NVIDIA 3D Acceleration Architecture Initialized
(II) NVIDIA(0): Using the NVIDIA 2D acceleration architecture
(**) NVIDIA(0): DPMS enabled
(==) RandR enabled
(II) AIGLX: Screen 0 is not DRI capable
(II) GLX: Initialized MESA-PROXY GL provider for screen 0

Can provide more, but this program ran on this hardware before.

Do I need to run another program to enable OpenGL perhaps?  What did I miss?

TIA,
