We had many problems with the 185 series (keyboard lockup, lost mouse,
etc. segfault in some commercial software).
We are currently using the nvidia 173.14.18 driver (with openSUSE
11.1-x86_64) and aren't seeing many problems anymore.

With our nvidia driver version, the libraries are installed under
/usr/lib/ and /usr/lib64/

Strange.
On our systems, /usr/X11R6/lib, /usr/X11R6/lib64 exist but are empty.
In fact, the entire /usr/X11R6 tree only has a _single_ entry:
/usr/X11R6/bin/xauth is linked to /usr/bin/xauth

This seems to be a problem with your particular driver version.
It'd be worth it if you dropped nvidia a line to let them know.
