And since when did SuSE distribute the Nvidia drivers? ;) They haven't done that for the last years. It's just a dummy driver. The 'real' driver can only be obtained from Nvidia themelves.

From the driver help page: http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_1.0-4496.html "/Note:/ If you are using SuSE 8.1 or earlier, or if you are using United Linux 1.0, we recommend installing from RPMs built by SuSE. These are available via ftp ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/1.0-4496. If you install via the .run file, XFree86 configuration with SaX2/YaST2 will not work correctly.
