If you downloaded the NVidia driver you only need to rerun from the CLI.

For example, as root run ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-260.19.12.run (or the package you used to install previously). You'll need to run 'init 3' first.

If you want NVIDIA driver to be used for a number of kernels, install it once and then for additional kernel use ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-260.19.12.run -K - it will add driver module for this kernel and will not mess with X.

Also, instead of init 3 you can just type 3 in boot options (on the boot-up screen). Many thanks, guys. See my [SOLVED] reply later in the thread. I am aware of init 5, rather than rebooting after building the nvidia drivers, to get back to the GUI, but, what the heck, it's the way I did it. ;)

Hi Suggest you have a read here; http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Mailing_list_netiquette

thank you for your suggestion now i understand the rules. but i'd also like to remind everyone of the first point that is listed in that link: "It is pointless to post an email that only warns about posting style. New openSUSE email users will feel unwanted and go away, and that is exactly what we don't want. If you don't want to read an email, then just skip it. If you want to answer, but prefer the posting style described below, state that at the end and link to this article for explanation." and also the person that started all this told me not to ever top-post but that link says : "General rule is, if the message is the natural conclusion of a thread, and there no more replies are expected, then top posting is adequate......" didn't know of all this netiquete but i do now. but for the next time if you don't like the way an email is written,punctuated,spelled,etc.... there is no need to make a big deal out of it and send a mail just for that reason save yourself and other people time/inbox space and skip that message/email.
