I use opensuse 11.3. Also I did set the repository like you do, and with

After I did a zypper refresh, and it said all ok and updated.

wait: you added the repo, and next thing you did "zypper refresh" and "zypper up"?
you'll have to to ask zypper to install the packages you need:

"zypper in <your nvidia package's name>"

then zypper will add other packages (dependencies) as needed and ask you for
confirmation. i'm not sure if the nvidia driver depends on nvidia-settings; if not
you'd have tell zypper explicitly to install it: "zypper in nvidia-settings"

[or perhaps that is what you did, and i didn't get that from your email...]

But nvidia-settings didn't worked.

Then I could see information running nvidia-settings, that it was not
installed, and how to geti rid of it.
I should run the cnf nvidia-seetings.
I did that, and then it installed, and also what obviously lacked from
the nvidia install.

But why didn't it get installed when I have made the repo is what I
would like to know.
Please ! :-)

see above...

Having ran the nvidia-xconfig, an/etc/X11/xorg.conf was made.

But I only have 640x480 resolution, and cannot get higher.

I have my xorg.conf here:

http://www.urbakken.dk/xorg.conf

did you run "nvidia-settings" as root _after_ running "nvidia-xconfig" ? to me
your xorg.conf looks like some vanilla default that would run with any hardware,
but at low resoluton, etc.

when you run "nvidia-settings" (when it's actually present & working) your monitor
gets configure, not before that. if you run it with root priviliges, you can save
the configuration to your xorg.conf file (merge).

[not sure if i understand what you're saying, and the other way around. slightly
confusing discussion...]
