The Bumblebee nvidia drivers for Tumbleweed (using DKMS) have been always up to date with the Tumbleweed kernel, don't be afraid. They just still don't support KMS, if the startup flickering doesn't matter. In most cases you must reinstall them in console mode to make them work after Tumbleweed kernel updates, that's a second disadvantage of the native drivers repo. There's no trigger for automatically reintegrate them in this case. Bumblebee is no good here. The machine's intergrated card is switched off, so

DKMS is nice, but it doesn't patch the NVIDIA driver when it fails to compile against a new kernel in TW. -- Gertjan Lettink, a.k.a.
