I don't think that's your problem.

OK, I've seen that too.  If you download and install the video driver
from nvidia.com, that problem goes away.  

With SuSE, you can do install the driver automatically from the
Software-> Online-Update screen (or one of the software screens).  
Just select the nvidia driver there.
