I have an ASUS K53S laptop ( i3_2350M, 4GB) with nVidia GeForce 610M_2GB gfx card (listed under the GeForce 7 series on this page). I have been running openSuse 12.2 on it for the last 3 months without a glitch and without the graphic card drivers as well. I installed the drivers from this page (used 1-click install for current cards) an hour ago. Since the reboot after installation, all the KDE plasma panels show in solid colour. I checked for the Open GL screensavers and found them to have stopped working as well. Following is the output of lspci:
