Hi of course you can use the Suse NVIDIA repository but this does not provide the most recent driver. So here the HOWTO thanks to “Marius”
Step 1: Via Yast install
gcc
make
kernel source
Step2: Download the nvidia driver from the nvidia website and move it to / (top root directory) makes life easier for operations further down
Step3: Blacklist the nouveau module. Insert “blacklist nouveau” without the quotes at the end of “/etc/modprobe.d/50-blacklist.conf”. (save the original config file first, you need to do this as super user)
Step4: Via Yast /etc/sysconfig Editor: system…kernel:
set “NO_KMS_IN_INITRD” to “yes”.
Step5: Reboot the system and when the grub menu comes up, write “nomodeset 3″ (without the quotes) in option field.
Step7: login and become root.
Step8: Install the nvidia driver with “sh NVIDIA-Linux-…….run -q”. (follow the menue prompts)
Step9: Generate a default xorg.conf with “nvidia-xconfig”.
Step8: Run “SuSEconfig”.
Step9: Restart the system.
This procedure worked for me !!
