saw a few things that got me interested with OpenSuse 11 so decided to give it a go.
My specs currently are:
So, i install OpenSuse and installation goes by smoothly. I reboot and try to start X and it errors out. So i try to download the Drivers and it errors out saying that the ymp file doesnt specify any actions. After this, i try to start x again, and it says it does not detect any screens…any suggestions/help appreciated. Thank you.

At the bootsplash, type" “3” which will boot you to runlevel 3 and the command line.
With Nvidia I have found the latest “beta” driver from NVIDIA Driver Downloads - Advanced Search works best – recommended. look at the howto for openSUSE.
Good luck:)
Hmmm…didnt work. I get a bunch of output in the terminal after i do the sax2 thing, but then it does nothing. i reboot and nothing happens.
So nothing? I tried other linux distro’s such as fedora core 9 and mandriva 2008 and they seem to work fine after an install. i wanted to try Opensuse b/c i want to run KDE4 and compiz fusion on my comp and it seems easier to set up on suse, plus it looks well put together and very slick, but if there is no X then there is no point. any help please?

Then it should be possible to get this to run under openSUSE. Do you have a copy of those functional xorg.conf files (from the other distributions that you say work)?
Currently (early-July-2008) KDE-4 is buggy and not as stable as 3.5.9. You may be in for a disappointment.
However KDE-3.5.9 is IMHO pretty good on 11.0.
Take a look here, where in addition to “sax2 -r -m 0=vesa” there are some other possibilities proposed:SDB:Black screen after boot - openSUSE

Ok, so i booted in failsafe and x starts, but when i login normally it doesnt work :S
this is what i get when i type in sax2 in failsafe ( gui running )

Died at /usr/share/sax/init.pl line 653.
Ok Fixxed it. What i did was, I booted in Failsafe. Downloaded the beta drivers to the desktop. after that, i restarted computer in normal mode, logged in ( no gui was booting ), upgraded to super user, and did the following:
sh NVIDIA-Linux-X86_64-177.13.pkg2.run
and followed the screen when promped for the download of kernel module i said yes, it didnt find any so the pkg built one for me, then it configured my X file as well. After that i typed sax2 -r -m 0=nvidia ( although it seemed to error out just like it did before ). i logged out from super user, and typed startx. and bam, X started.
