This seems to be the Nouveau driver, not the Nvidia.
Maybe the Nouveau driver was not blacklisted?
I have not checked openSUSE package, but normally bumblebee expects both nouveau and nVidia drivers to be blacklisted (and thus not loaded by default) and loads driver on demand (after powering on card) as defined in configuration. It supports (at least, supported) both and it is up to user to chose.
Something certainly was missing.
I wrote a script to be sure not to forget things : http://paste.opensuse.org/78380357
After removing and reinstalling result seems better.
And yes Nvidia and Nouveau are blacklisted.

Any comments are welcome.
Last question :
When I want to use the nvidia cards, I just prepend the command with ‘optirun’. Is not it?
Thank you everybody for helping.
OK, that looks like a normal bumblebee operation.
To use the Nvidia card you just type “optirun <command>”; if you have applications that always need discrete graphics you could even incorporate that in the desktop launchers. For instance, check:
nano /usr/share/applications/nvidia-settings.desktop
You should edit the Exec line as follows:
Exec=optirun -b none nvidia-settings -c :8
for the applet to run properly. You might also check:
