Here you go:

$ rpm -qa | grep -i nvidia
nvidia-settings-270.41.06-1.9.i586
nvidia-gfxG02-kmp-default-290.10_k2.6.37.1_1.2-12.1.i586
nvidia-computeG02-290.10-13.1.i586
x11-video-nvidiaG02-290.10-13.1.i586

But I have a much easiler way of checking the inconsistency:

# zypper se -s kernel-default
S | Name | Type | Version | Arch | Repository

--+----------------------+------------+-----------------+--------+----------------------
i | kernel-default | package | 2.6.37.6-0.11.1 | i586 |
openSUSE-11.4 Updates

# zypper se -s nvidia
S | Name | Type | Version |
Arch | Repository
--+---------------------------+------------+------------------------------+--------+-------------------
i | nvidia-gfxG02-kmp-default | package | 295.40_k2.6.37.1_1.2-14.1 |
i586 | NVIDIA Repository

The latest nvidia drivers have been built against kernel 2.6.37.1, while the
latest kernel shipped is 2.6.37.6.

Which doesn't matter as long as the kABI hasn't changed. A compatibility
symlink is created in /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/weak-updates. That's the big
advantage of using KMPs.
