Noticed the same thing when trying to install the Nvidia Legacy drivers could not get them to work with new kernal. have temporarily at least reverted back to 11.1 on that machine.
This is another story why people should not run Milestone releases. There is no NVIDIA repo for the testing releases. You have installed the driver once, the hard way, and now you’re trying to install through the repos as well, not noticing that the kernel version does not match.
If the driver installed Ok the hard way, that should do.
Disable the NVIDIA repo, for the future stick to stable
releases, learn, learn, learn. The Milestones are for testing purposes. And testing is no use if you do not
know what you’re testing.

Thats what I have been doing. Will way to try YaST again after release
when I do a clean install again.
