Stan, both Felix and I gave you solutions to your problem (though different methods to do it) but apparently what was help from our side didn't get you anywhere. Let's just back down a little bit so that we can get this solved. For updating the driver, it is necessary to add that X11 repo. For updating the kernel, there are several options; if you don't like Tumbleweed you can also use the dedicated kernel update repo from the opensuse build service (I am actually using both). There is no need to get involved with source or debug packets, nor to compile anything. We just need to install the proper rpm packages, i.e. what the repositories provide for "normal usage". There is also no need to haggle with config files on the console, YaST has a GUI for all of this. Let's start with checking/adding needed repos. Open YaST, click "software repositories" (I'm translating from a german system so bear with me if you don't see *exactly* what I put here), then in the next window check if you have repos there with URL http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/XOrg/openSUSE_11.4 and http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/stable/standard If they are there, close this window ("OK"). If not, click "add", make sure "specify URL" is checked in the next dialog, and then after clicking "continue" input a repo name of your choice and the URL of the missing repo in the next window. You might be asked about accepting a GPG key when adding a repo, make sure you do this (we normally trust the opensuse repos ;-)) Once the repos are added, open "install software" in the main YaST window. In the window that opens, click "show" button (upper left, below the "file" menu") and select "installation sources" (hope this translation from the German GUI fits). This will give you a list of configured repos, including the two new ones. Select the X11 repo and then, above the list of software packages, click on "switch system packages to this repo". Clicking "ok" (or "accept") will install the new X11 drivers and all dependencies. If you like or need to upgrade the kernel, do the same with the new kernel repo. You may need to open the "install software" again after upgrading the first repo as YaST standard behaviour is to close this window after an update run. Once the packages are installed, restart your system and it should now give you proper graphics support.
