I have added non-free contrib to sources but there does not seem to be a package called nvidia-detect for this architecture. There is such a package on a laptop I have but that is 64 bit. I think the driver is this one: https://www.nvidia.co.uk/Download/driverResults.aspx/1252/en-uk But I don't want to risk installing it from there. Certainly I have used an nvidia driver on the PC many years ago with opensuse but they don't support 32 bit anymore except with tumbleweed and that doesn't include nvidia driver installation.
