If you use Zen Updater or Yast to install the source and default kernel, they 
should pick up all the dependencies. You of course will have to reinstall the 
nVidia driver. If you install the new xorg files that are available as well, 
you will have to reinstall the nVidia driver as well after that. Sometimes I 
have found it useful to run in a terminal window
smart check
smart fix
It seems to catch one or two dependencies that Yast occasionally misses.
Good luck
