I have GeForce 210 in a Mythbuntu box driving an HDMI TV.  I have the 
proprietary Nvidia driver installed version 304.88.
I don't know how to use this in SUSE but this simple xorg.conf file used 
in Mythbuntu will force the desired resolution on the HDMI port 
(DFP-1).  Relevant portion at the bottom.  Other ATSC resolutions may be 
substituted (like 1920x1080)

Note: HorizSync and VertRefresh are commented out.
