Hi Bob,
I went back home and checked the settings.
On my laptop (7300 Go), Opensuse 11.2, I have the following package installed:

- nvidia-gfxG02-kmp-default (190.53_2.6.31.5_0.1-8.1)
- x11-video-nvidiaG02 (190.53-9.1)

and it works great.

Be sure to check that the kmp package match your kernel version 
(default/pae/desktop).

On the desktop, I have a 7600 GT with the same package installed.
I did nothing to setup X on these computer after I installed OS 11.2.
Not even a nvidia-xconfig (but for the laptop I upgraded using zypper dup, so 
the previous setup might have been used).
