The package x11-video-nvidia-1.0.8762-1.i586.rpm

"Morning is smarter than evening" is old saying.

This is driver file location in above package
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/updates/drivers/nvidia_drv.so
and this is on a system
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/nvidia_drv.so

It is the same for 10.0 and 10.1.
The 10.1 is the same as SLED 10.

So your update was probably installed in directory that is listed in rpm file.

Of course, that does not mean it made the symbolic link. Unless it
failed on install and tried to undo whatever it had done by placing the
link so modified config files where it replaced nv with nvidia would
still work.

That might be one possible reason to create the link, but it means that you
tried to uninstall the nvidia driver, because that is the only way to run
post-uninstall script that will call tiny-nvidia-installer.

Post-install script just replaces string "nv" with "nvidia" in
section "Drivers" of xorg.conf. That is the case in 10.1 and 10.2 alpha. In
version 10.0 script replaces any "nv" with "nvidia". The search and
replacement strings include both "".

I had few problems with nvidia-installer that was downloaded with
tiny-nvidia-installer --update
it changed xorg.conf for both displays to "nvidia". Second needs "ati"
driver :-)

BTW, the nvidia-installer is not really comfortable.
For instance:
I missed to prepare kernel sources before running installer and it offered to
download kernel without telling the download source and version. That can end
with kernel that is not compatible with the rest of the system, so I refused
offer, and than it ran preparation for me, compiled driver and installed it.
Strange that it didn't offered to prepare existing kernel sources first.

.....

It can be that Smart did just what is programmed to do, install rpm, run
post-install script and that is all. New driver was in wrong place that only
original SLED 10 software management can find.
