SuSE 8.2 also uses Linux 2.4 in default...
SuSE has already build their 2.6 kernel and will use it very soon as default... The distro-version doesn't make any difference.

Just go to nvidia's home page and download it's linux driver.

Install it as root (and edit xf86config).


EDIT: To keep Yast and Sax updated:

*First cd to  /usr/src/linux

*Type make cloneconfig && make dep

*Now install u're driver:
download:
http://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/1.0-5328/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-5328-pkg1.run

Install with:
sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-5328-pkg1.run

*Use Sax to configure X
type sax2 -m 0=nvidia

Thanks!  

SAJChurchey:
If you want to boot an older kernel, the kernel image should still be in the /boot directory.  I'm not sure how SuSE handles updates, but you should be able find an older image (i.e. vmlinuz.old) and overwrite the current image (vmlinuz) w/ the mv command, or you can edit your GRUB config (/boot/menu.lst) and add an entry for a previously used kernel.

SuSE should also have a "safe mode" kernel, which is basically the original kernel that was shipped w/ the distro (usuallty called vmlinuz.shipped), you can repeat the above steps w/ that if that is of any help.
