wait: you added the repo, and next thing you did "zypper refresh" and "zypper 
up"? 
you'll have to to ask zypper to install the packages you need: 

"zypper in <your nvidia package's name>"

then zypper will add other packages (dependencies) as needed and ask you for 
confirmation. i'm not sure if the nvidia driver depends on nvidia-settings; if 
not 
you'd have tell zypper explicitly to install it: "zypper in nvidia-settings"

[or perhaps that is what you did, and i didn't get that from your email...]

did you run "nvidia-settings" as root _after_ running "nvidia-xconfig" ? to me 
your xorg.conf looks like some vanilla default that would run with any 
hardware, 
but at low resoluton, etc.

when you run "nvidia-settings" (when it's actually present & working) your 
monitor 
gets configure, not before that. if you run it with root priviliges, you can 
save 
the configuration to your xorg.conf file (merge).

[not sure if i understand what you're saying, and the other way around. 
slightly 
confusing discussion...]
