    As root edit the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf

    replace the line

    driver "nvidia"

    with

    driver "vesa"

    You can use vi or joe to edit the file (note joe is probably easier)
    The easiest is nano but I don't think it is installed by default anymore.
    examples

    vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf
    or
    joe /etc/X11/xorg.conf
    or
    nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf

    What is your graphics card ie what chip set? Are you running 64 or 32 bit Suse?
