Use the driver from the NVIDIA package repository. For details, see instructions on openSUSE.
However, brightness cannot be changed while X is displayed.
Sound: AD1984
Install a recent alsa version from the additional Packman YaST package repository. For details, again see instructions on openSUSE. Furthermore, use the alsa mixer workaround skript from, e.g., Installation of Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) Tribe on a ThinkPad R61.
WiFi: Intel 4965AGN
Use ndiswrapper and the NETw4x32.INF driver of the XP zip archive available from Intel. For details, as usual see instructions on openSUSE.
TouchPad
The Synaptics TouchPad driver for X version distributed with openSUSE 10.2 (x11-input-synaptics-0.14.6-24) does not work. Thus, there are no advandced features like scrolling available.
Trackpoint
The Trackpoint can be used to perform scrolling, similar to Windows. Just add the following options to the "InputDevice" section of the X.org configuration:
Option "EmulateWheel" "On"
Option "EmulateWheelButton" "2"
