I’ve always just gone to NVidia’s website and downloaded the driver from them. I have to re-install it for kernel updates, but I’ve never had a problem with it not working.

i tried that from both the repository and directly from NVidia.

There was some issue with SUSE's implementation of the Princeton Kernel that caused the NVidia legacy drivers to break. As i said though, the open source Neuveau driver worked just fine for that card. i still use the card on my 10 year old HP.
