So when I installed openSUSE, it warned me that I could have problems with the open video drivers, and that I might wish to install the NVIDIA drivers later. Lo and behold, my computer did start freezing up, which could be related to the drivers, I suppose.
/sbin/lspci | grep VGA
02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GT218 [GeForce 210] (rev a2)
lscpu | grep Arch
Architecture: x86_64

Based on this info, I believe I want the driver at https://www.nvidia.com/Download/driverResults.aspx/156163/en-us.
Per the instructions:

However, I don’t see any options which seem to match what I have:

it looks like my card is GeForce 200 series (218), 400 or 600 series. Can anyone shed any light on this?
Thanks.
