Thanks for testing and reporting!

Please file a bug report about this as described on bugs.opensuse.org.

Yes, as has always been the case (and as mentioned above) -- the
latest version of KDE4 is available in the build service. You'll be
able to upgrade with 1-click-install! :)

NVIDIA RPM packages aren't available for development versions
unfortunately, but they will be for the final version. To install it
you will just have to click on the 1-click-install over at
http://opensuse.org/NVIDIA (which will appear there when final is
released).

If you're just upgrading factory, you might want to install the
yast2-update-FACTORY package, which is a YaST module for upgrading to
the latest version of factory. AFAIK we don't have a YaST module to
upgrade, online, to the current version, which I agree is unfortunate.

Kind thoughts,
