I have always had to do so or the long way before I found out about
cloneconfig, "cd /usr/src/linux;cp /boot/config-`uname -r` .config;make
oldconfig".

Using the NV...pkg directly from NVidia?

It's mentioned in an obscure place, see /usr/src/linux/README.SUSE, but
no doubt documented elsewhere.

I don't recall it being with the install instructions referred by the
NVidia package specifically for openSUSE.

You say you "have always had to", have you ever tried w/o? How do you
know this?
