[plug] nvidia/suse 7.3 blues

[Christian Müller]

why not just mv the /etc/X11/XF86Config to /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 an then 
create a symolic link /etc/X11/XF86Config for /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 that 
way the nvidia drivers can find the file they want and the XFree 
configuration just follows the link

just a thought
