I use file nvidia-gfx-kmp-default-1.0.9639_2.6.22.13_0.3-0.1.i586.rpm
that has updated between 13 Dec & 21 Dec and
nvidia-x11-drv-96xx-1.0.9631-1.src.rpm as I have an old card. The
drivers you state above are for newer nvidia cards. The installer
offered by nvidia that  equates  to the suse drivers I have is
"NVIDIA-Linux-x86-96.43.01-pkg1.run" which I have to run in order to get
my x working again. The above suse drivers simply stop yast from
complaining.
