You can use openSUSE without X11. I do this with 2 of my servers. You will,
however, have only a text-based system and no GUI. That part IS X. The nVidia
driver is needed for 3D acceleration of X.
If you need only 2D acceleration, then the frame buffer driver for nVidia chips
is built into the system. On my laptop with Geforce Go 7150 graphics, I use that
method because I do kernel development and change kernels on almost a daily
basis. Using an out-of-kernel driver would be a severe PITA. Using KDE 3.5
without any fancy stuff works just fine.
