Isn't it what computers suppose to do? Easier our lives?
Yes.
But updates are not yet reliable enough to let the system
do it just because someone popped a patch out on a suse
repository someplace.
Automatic update is meant for use inside an organizational
environment... so that instead of manually updating 500
desktops, you can just pop a patch onto a server, and let
the machines respond to it.
The point is, you should never allow a system to be
updated without YOU knowing what is happening.
Otherwise, you soon discover that the "automatic" way
does NOT make your life easier.
Case in point --- the OP's current experience.

Is there something wrong with that? I don't think so.
A short pop up with 'You need to reinstall your third party nvidia
driver after installing this xorg mandatory update' would do the work.
Except the kernel and the driver were not upgraded together,
which leads to problems like this.
