Hi,
your "new" card is old nVidia TNT2 which is not supported by nVidia
binary drivers. You have to use "nv" video driver instead of "nvidia".
You can (as root) edit the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf and replace line

  Driver       "nvidia"

with

  Driver       "nv"

It's possible to do that with yast as well, but this is faster.
