You should install the nvidia driver packages which
correspond to your kernel.
Eg if you have desktop kernel, you install
the drivers with 'desktop' in their names
from this repo:
ftp://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/

The actual driver depends on the nvidia card you have
(gfx, G01, or G02) and the architecture (32 or 64 bit).

You need two files:
1. x11-video-nvidia.....rpm
2. nvidia-gfx-...<kerneltype>.rpm

I would use YAST/zypper and check what packages are currently
installed and make corrections if necessary.

I think if you have two types of kernel
both needs the corresponding nvidia packages,
and the correct one should be loaded at boot
according to the kernel booted.
