Sorry for replying to myself, I thought I should add that I do know how to download the driver and run the script, I just want to know if there is a way through YaST?

No, there isn't. YaST can only handle rpms. Sad, but if you just remember (how
often have I not myself forgot...) to reinstall the driver each time you
upgrade the kernel, everything should be OK. I've found it useful to keep the
installation in /root together with a one-liner script which does
sh NVIDIA-Linux-

AFAIK, it's necessary to do that *after* reboot, since the module has to be compiled for the new kernel, not for the currently running one. You probably can put that line into boot.local together with a test for the nvidia module. -- Bernd Paysan "If you want it done right, you have to do it yourself" http://www.jwdt.com/~paysan/
