No need, yast online update has already run this. If the update didn't generate an error, it will be done
Just follow the instructions then go "/etc/init.d/xdm start" and that'll bring x back up.
No it won't, it will get you an "already running" error, since you never stopped kdm before.
Now you gotta go to the nvidia website and make the changes to your XF86Config file laid out in the readme for a linux install.
No you don't, suse uses a non-accelerated driver called "nvidia", not "nv", in 9.0 so you don't have to edit anything when you install the 3D driver. Besides, if you did have to edit the XF86Config file, this should have been done before restarting X
