I will write later about my experience with installing 11.0 on a desktop machine that users an nvidia card. It will be about user complexity in trying to figure out which of the nvidia entries are correct as I obviously choose the wrong one and lost my graphics.
There are two choices ( http://en.opensuse.org/NVIDIA ): recent and legacy cards. Just check the card list and select the appropriate driver :-)
Since openSUSE 11.0 this is no longer necessary. The appropriate NVIDIA packages will be autoselected by YaST2 right after adding the repo. If no additional packages are autoselected, your card is not supported by the driver (RPMs). So this is - thanks to the community repo list - now as easy as the 1-click-install and much more safer.
