I also had problems installing the NVIDIA drivers. After trying everything mentioned on the NVIDIA website for Suse users, I ended downloading the .run script and running that. It then worked OK.

The first thing I did after I've installed SuSE was to update thru YAST. As mentioned in the SuSE Nvidia FAQ, I included the Nvidia drivers, and installed them via YAST.
After the re-boot there's the all-to-familiar black screen. I edited the XF86Config and changed nvidia to nv.
Have anyone succeeded in installing the Nvidia drivers?
So, after the black screen you went back to the nv version to get a desktop?
What motherboard do you have? lspci output would be helpful (need to be root), as well as output from Xfree86.0.log (in /var/logs/), although you may want to hit Nvidia and your motherboard manufacturer with a very old Herring.
From lspci, looking for an output similar to these:
Host bridge: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 735 Host (rev 01) 00:01.0 PCI bridge: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] SiS 530 Virtual PCI-to-PCI bridge (AGP)
VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV15 [GeForce2 GTS/Pro] (rev a4)
