Yeah, usually you can just do make modules make modules_install
If you just need to alter some module.
but I think this assumes that the corresponding kernel has already been built, and all the files are still in /usr/src/linux.
So, in my case, I am using whatever kernel SuSE installed when I installed 8.1. Can I therefore take the source from the DVD, which is therefore presumably identical to my running kernel, alter the visor.c and visor.h files, do the make modules and then simply copy the visor.o file to /lib? I'd rather only change the one file - if it's cocked up, it'll be easier to go back to my old system!
