Khanh,

        There have been a number of users (me included) that have had problems 
with the
2.6.34 kernel. In the past 3 weeks there have been at least two threads giving
the steps required to update to 2.6.36 from the kernel:/HEAD repository and
howto install the nvidia drivers with the new kernel.

        I think you would benefit from installing 2.6.36. Remember to set the
multiversion flag in /etc/zypp.conf so that you can install 2.6.36 without
removing 2.6.34. (You will have to replace the 2.6.34 kernel source with 2.6.36)

        See the thread: Re: [opensuse] How to upgrade my kernel? [SOLVED]

by Bob Williams who did a great job including the howto in his post.
