Found this info on a support list and am passing it along for those still having problems. Did it all from a terminal window and rebooted into safe mode for the install. Works great now. Hope it helps.
1) Kernel sources must be installed and configured. Usually this means installing the 'kernel-source' RPM with YaST2 and configure it then with the following commands:
cp /boot/vmlinuz.config /usr/src/linux/.config cp /boot/vmlinuz.version.h /usr/src/linux/include/linux cp /boot/vmlinuz.autoconf.h /usr/src/linux/include/linux cd /usr/src/linux make cloneconfig dep
2) Use the nvidia installer.
export IGNORE_CC_MISMATCH=yes sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4363.run
3) Enable 3D support with SaX2.
Thanks, I was able to get the driver to install using this method. I have another issue though. The Geometry changes when using SaX2 and selecting the nvidia driver. Geometry changes to 1400X1050 when I "Test" and I can't get it to go to 1600X1200. On my laptop this resolution looks lousy. And, I've checked XF86Config and don't find the place where resolution is set. Being that everything else works, could I save with the higher Geometry setting and not testing? Or where would I find the Geometry setting to manually change it? Thanks.
