Lol, yeah don't get lost in the command line when trying to install. :laugh:
Here's simple instructions for setting up your nvidia graphics card in Suse with the latest drivers.
1) Make sure you have gcc, make, and kernel-sources installed.
2) Download the nvidia binary drivers and run 'chmod +x ./nvidia-installer.bin' as root with nvidia-installer.bin is the name of the file.
3) Run 'init 3' as root to get rid of the x server.
4) Run ./nvidia-installer.bin to run the file, it'll compile the drivers and stuff.
5) Run 'sax2 -m 0=nvidia' to start up sax2 and configure the resolution you want, adjust vertical and horizontal positions, adjust refresh rate, etc.
6) Run init 5. You're done.
Or an even easier way to install nvidia drivers (version 7676 or so):
Run YOU from the bottom right corner, when installing a patch choose the nvidia driver, click finish.
