I have installed the Nvidia driver through YOU in the past, but it installs an old version anyways. It very simple to get the latest Nvidia drivers on your box. Just go to the Nvidia website ( http://www.nvidia.com/ ) and download the Linux IA32 graphic card driver installer. There are special instruction for installing under SuSE on the download page. It's as simple as switching to runlevel 3 and running the installer as root. This will give you a wizard that will guide you through installing the drivers and downloading/compiling the kernel module. Once it is done you run Sax2 with the command: # sax2 -m 0=nvidia and configure your graphics card. Don't worry about checking the 3d acceleration check box, as the docs say that it doesn't work in SuSE 9.0. Once you are done you should be able to switch to runlevel 5 and see the Nvidia splash screen when X starts up.
