Oddly enough, the ease of the suse video driver installation has regressed since the time of 9.3 and before. It used to be that you could simply click on a checkbox in online update that said "install nvidia drivers", and you were good to go. period. no tweaking of configs, no building of drivers, no worrying about reinstalling the driver if the kernel gets updated. IIUC it was pressure from a shrill anti binary driver faction among the kernel devs that led novell to revert to the more awkward manual procedure we now find ourselves with.
