I'd say this is an Intel related problem, many many people have NVIDIA
working without hassle.  The best thing you can do is push via the bug
that you will have logged or found.  I agree though, it's these kind of
show stoppers that OpenSuSE still needs to get better at, the Jury's out
to whether we finally have a working wireless networking solution since
10.3 for example.  Still, theres one last chance before the GM version.
In my opinion this type of thing is the single only thing that lets this
distribution down and I have no idea how to fix it.  Otherwise OpenSuSE
would be as near perfect as a distro could be.
