Yeah, think this is how most distro's would handle it. However, my brother
is running SUSE 9.0 and he actually used YAST to install the nvidia driver.
I didn't know this was possible, being a Redhat/Fedora person. However, I
verified it did indeed work. I checked his X config file and it had made the
appropriate changes.

We ran "Enemy Territory" and it worked fine. So, you may not have to run the
nvidia installer manually, being a SUSE user, you may have the option to use
the YAST utility.
