It all worked. Thank you very much, guys!
I can see my normal desktop 
Now I’ll try to get the nvidia driver package to run. Anything I should know before I do it on OpenSUSE?
Oh, and how can I give you a positive rating?
Good to hear!

Basically you have to run it in text mode (there is an option to force it to install from inside X as well: --no-runlevel-check, I think it even disables nouveau then if it detects it)
And you have to prevent the “nouveau” kernel module from being loaded, either by adding “nomodeset” to the boot options or creating a file in /etc/modprobe.d/ with the content:
blacklist nouveau
Setting NO_KMS_IN_INITRD=“yes” and re-creating the initrd with “sudo /sbin/mkinitrd” might be necessary as well (you should definitely do the latter one).
See also here for detailed instructions:

Trying to install the exact same version (331.79) might not make much sense though.
Anyway, as I said already, I would suggest to try the G02 driver first, it should support your card as well:
sudo zypper in x11-video-nvidiaG02 nvidia-gfxG02-kmp-desktop nvidia-computeG02
If that one doesn’t work either, you can remove it again with:
sudo rpm -e x11-video-nvidiaG02 nvidia-gfxG02-kmp-desktop nvidia-computeG02

Click on the star below a post.
Well, I’m back.
I had some time to setup the older drivers and everything works nicely.
Thank you very much, guys! ;D
