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.

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)
