Unfortunately I am not on 11.0 (running factory) and I only have a 6200
TC but the repo you need is http://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/11.0
which I have just loaded, the correct driver will most probably be
nvidia-gfxG02-kmp-default which should also pull in the
x11-video-nvidiaG02 as well. The only thing that could cause a problem
would be if either the nvidia or os repos are not 100% up to date and
the available kernel and the driver don't match.
