Also what you may have missed is that when you did the update with YAST
there was also a kernel update that installed AFTER the nvidia driver
was installed, which means that the nvidia driver was created based on
the "old" kernel which was then updated farther down the page?? Confused
yet?? So just install with the sources from nvidia or uninstall and
reinstall with YAST the nvidia driver and you should be good to go
Hope this helps

For me it did not work to install them through YAST.
Go to the nvidia site and download the
NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-5336-pkg1.run shar archive. Also read this
http://www.suse.de/~sndirsch/nvidia-installer-HOWTO.
Things to be aware of ...
Boot into the machine at runlevel 3 and log in as root.
Make sure you have installed a full set of kernel sources BEFORE you run
the shar script as it needs the kernel headers to compile the driver
module.
The sax2 step takes a LONG time. During that time there is no progress
indicator just a total blank screen. I have a 2.5GHz Pentium and the
first time I aborted because I thought it was hung ... JUST WAIT.
When you are successful you should see the Nvidia splash screen for a
second before the X splash screen.
Hope this helps
