Over the weekend I did a zypper dup on my desktop, which I hadn't done for awhile. Knowing there was a kernel update, I booted to init 3, and did the NVIDIA rebuild. Finally got back to it tonight and realized it was an error related to things moving in the kernel. I had version 295 of the driver. After downloading version 304.xx and a quick rebuild, I was back in business.
So if you're have trouble like I did, try the newer driver.
