I've been running the nvidia 1.0-5332 driver with suse 9.1 for a few weeks with no problems. Here's the output of dmesg regarding the kernel module loading during bootup:
nvidia: module license 'NVIDIA' taints kernel. 0: nvidia: loading NVIDIA Linux x86_64 NVIDIA Kernel Module 1.0-5332 Fri Jan 9 12:42:32 PST 2004
I simply used Yast2 to install the nvidia driver during an online update. I did no further configuration myself (except adding Option "NoLogo" "on" to get rid of the logo display). I did have a problem at first with random lockups but it turned out to be a bad dimm. It has run smoothly ever since I had the bad dimm replaced.
That's quite strange. It would mean that the nvidia-driver is available on an FTP server as a RPM? But at least on ftp.suse.com I don't find any RPM that looks like it contains the nVidia driver. Are you really running a 2.6.x kernel with the nVidia 1.0-5332 driver? I tried here several times and all I got was a message that the nvidia kernel module has a wrong format.
