You will also need a completely configured kernel source for NVidia's file to run You might also check subfs in /usr/src/kernel-modules Peter Nikolic wrote:

I don't know if this is the proper place to post suggestions, but, here it is anyhow:
I recently upgraded my kernel as suggested by SuSE watcher. YAST gave me several instructions on what to do after I installing the patch, however, as I am running an nvidia card, after my reboot, X wouldn't start because the kernel module wasn't for the same kernel - I got it figured out eventually, but it would have been nice for YAST to parse the xorg.conf file for "nvidia" and if found put up another dialog box giving instructions on what to do for this driver, suggestions to dowload new driver for nvidia, how to install it, etc.
Thanks,

"http://www.nvidia.com" follow links to down load section download latest NVIDIA driver version NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-7667-pkg1.run at the moment if needed "chmod +x NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-7667-pkg1.run " boot new kernel using 3 on the boot params line at boot that boots to runlevel 3 no gui
cd to the place you have the driver stored the for suse 9.2 do " ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-7667-pkg1.run -q" accept the driver answer yes to the rest of the questions about the installed driver , Driver installs then " init 5" bingo X and KDE or the other one up and running if you had a previous NVIDIA driver installed there is NO NEED for the sax2 bit (that always fails big time for me any how so i hand brew things )
I believe it aint that much different for 9.3 either the only time i allowed yast to handle the MVIDIA install it made such a dogs dinner of it i always do it by hand now works every time .
Have fun
