Yes, that's pretty much the standard drill, just following the 
nvidia-suse install howto.

Not bad, but it is a few steps that some people would rather not have to 
deal with, so suse does provide the easy default install method, where 
you just click on the "install nvidia drivers" checkbox in yast, and 
don't worry about the details. On new installations, I simply check that 
box and voila, I have accelerated 3D. However, the driver does tend to 
get stale, as it remains at a static version, and in some cases the 
acceleration stops happening. In this case, or if you just want the 
latest and greatest drivers, it's good to know the drill.
