Download x86 here
Download x86_64 here
To install simply run:
Assuming you’re running x86_64
sudo sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-177.82-pkg2.run
You can uninstall the previous version of the nvidia driver by running:
sudo sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-177.82-pkg2.run –uninstall
ps. I would give a report on it, but like I said in my posting a few minutes ago.. my Beta 5 box is blah’ed up.. and NVIDIA driver doesn’t seem to be working correctly due to the new kernel.. I suspect it to work fine on openSUSE 11.0 / 11.1 Beta 4 and earlier.

Works fine on beta5 and later as well. Well, it does for me anyway and mine is as up-to-date as it can get. Kernel 2.6.27.5-2-default, x86_64.
Is there any word on openSUSE rpms? They’re normally available at ftp://download.nvidia.com/opensuse

I expect those to start coming out with RC1.
