Mike,
X.Org is the new X server configuration - the equivalent of xfree86.
All you need to do is run the command 

sax2 -m 0=nvidia

from a non gui login (i.e command line).
You may be able to do this by logging out of your X session via the menu, 
then, at the login screen, choosing a command line login or non gui ( I dont 
know what SuSE calls it) 
Alternatively, you can manually edit the xorg.conf file in /etc as root.
The information on how to do that is available in the file the nvidia driver 
installs  - probably at 

/usr/share/doc/NVIDIA_GLX-1.0

Easy enough to do.
Hope this helps.
Mark
