So I took another look at the nvidia website.  Search led me astray several 
times, 
but I finally got a page that said my GT520 requires 290+ drivers, so I 
downloaded
the 295 driver.  Then, to be sure, I checked with yast again (nvidia recommends 
that you use the driver provided by your distribution).  yast, which had the 
270 driver 
when I checked a couple of weeks ago, now had the 290 driver, which I 
installed.  

I now have 1920X1080 on the vga connector.  Haven't checked with the hdmi, so I 
can't give any encouragement to the person who asked me to tell my experience 
with getting it going again.  

Thanks, Christian.
