Solved my problem too.
First, congratulation kwikness for your success.
I found on nvidias site a new BIOS for my motherboard (M2N32 SLI deluxe) and installed it.
Then the usual procedure:
booting into console (init 3),
installing the gforce driver 185.18.14 which failed before.
run sax2 -r.
booting again
voila. X server and KDE came up.
But one thing is strange:
For all nvidia driver i installed before i havn't to reboot the system. It was sufficient to go from runlevel 3 to 5 to bring KDE up.
With 185.18.14 i have to reboot. Maybe now the order of installing modules are importend!?
Nevertheless i'm happy.

7. Select your new kernel when your bootloader comes up. For me, it was the one that wasn't the default (the one with the higher version number).

By compiling the nvidia module (the method you described) you don't get a new kernel in openSuSE. Maybe you selected the wrong kernel before?
