I had 11.1 and upgraded via Network CD to 11.2.
The installation completed successfully, but after reboot I am not able to use Opensuse graphical.
If I try:
startx there is this error message, I think something with Nvidia is wrong.

What should I do?
I had 11.1 and upgraded via Network CD to 11.2.
I’m left to guess a bit here. If you literally upgraded, over the top of existing 11.1, then maybe xorg.conf is still present (along with old driver) from previous version and causing problems for you. From the command prompt, log in as root, and do
rm -f /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Then reboot and see if you can get a graphical desktop. It should detect your graphics harwdare automatically, and load the nv driver for you.
There is something in the Release Notes about the graphic changes.
In most cases no xorg.conf should be necessary, and where it is, run sax2 to generate it.
the deleting of xorg.conf was successfull, but now after starting sax there is a new problem.
Here some infos

I could solve the problem, I just installed my nvidia driver new and all updates and it is working now.
Another thing is, that I have 4 boot entries since the upgrade one with (desktop) in brackets is that normal and can I delete two of them?
Yes you can, but take care though.
