Problem: nothing provides libnvidia-ml.so.1()(64bit) needed by x11-video-nvidiaG04-352.55-17.1.x86_64
Solution 1: do not install x11-video-nvidiaG04-352.55-17.1.x86_64
Solution 2: break x11-video-nvidiaG04-352.55-17.1.x86_64 by ignoring some of its dependencies

That is wrong.
You called the repo “x11-video-nvidiaG04-352.55-17.1.x86_64.rpm” now on your system.
You probably should rather use something like “nvidia” instead…
Please post your current repo list for further, more explicit help:
zypper lr -d
linux-anla:~ # zypper in x11-video-nvidiaG04-352.55-17.1.x86_64 .rpm
That’s wrong as well.
First, there shouldn’t be a space between the package name and the ‘.rpm’. That’s what causes the error about “.rpm not found”.
Second, you should not specify the full filename anyway in this case, rather just install “x11-video-nvidiaG04”.
And when I download the file from site and try to install it this happens:
That’s to be expected.
You need more than just that one package…
Actually his error is that when adding the repository, he gave the repository name as the rpm name.
Although inadvisable, it shouldn’t cause an error (unless this is a new bug) because you should be able to call a repo any kind of friendly name and the repo should “just work” as evidenced by the repo being added successfully.
From his posts, it looks to me that the specific rpm he wants to install does not exist, and this might be either a problem for the repo maintainers (should this package really exist?) or the package might have been superceded by a newer version which would be named differently.
So, to the OP, I recommend you search for all similar packages with the following
zypper se x11-video-nvidiaG04
You should see a list of all packages and drivers available for your particular video chipset.
Choose which one you’d like to install and install with
LANG=C zypper ref
