Was a bit rocky at first - I couldn't get the packaged NVidia modules to load,
tried to install them manually, then realised that I'd downloaded the
kernel-source, rather then the kernel-rt-source package. Fixed that with
YaST, reinstalled the NVidia driver (manually).
Still couldn't start jack with realtime priority, then remembered that I'd
commented out the lines I added to limits.conf. Fixed that and now I have
jackd running with a latency of 2.9msec - which is the best performance I've
seen since SuSE 9.3
Many, many thanks indeed.

I'm not a
coder, so all I have to go on is logic - but it appears to me
that the kernel-source package does not include the necessary files for a
realtime kernel.
Is there any way that these files can be generated without rebuilding the
kernel?
I went through this too, and after asking on #suse about this suser jengelh
jumped in and rolled new packages, including kernel-rt-source and
ready-to-install nvidia drivers. His repository is at
http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/misc/suser-jengelh/SUSE-10.3/
We'd be glad to hear how it behaves for you, either here or in the jacklab
forums or irc channel.
