i have had a few requests of where to find the script from here is the link from the suse site:
ftp://ftp.mirrorservice.org/sites/ft...fetchnvidia.sh
You will need to be root and in runlevel 3 you can switch by typing "init 3"
If the script complains about a nvidia module already being loaded then type "rmmod nvidia"
To run the script type"perl fetchnvidia.sh"
For those of you that are interested this is the contents of the script as you can see the nvidia driver it is set yo download is NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-7167-pkg1.run you can change this if you want, to a newer one, just open up the file in a text editor and change what you need to
