kernel-desktop is a good choice for a desktop machine.

xorg.conf shouldn't be needed anymore, except in very special circumstances

using the kmp packages for the nvidia driver will eliminate all these 
problems, since it is possible to have both -desktop and -default installed at 
the same time, you don't have to reinstall every time you do a kernel update, 
and you don't get an unneeded xorg.conf generated

The kmp packages should get installed automatically by YaST the next time you 
use its software module, by the way
