If that's the case, it usually takes a long time (or forever?) until ntpd synchronizes starts preferring the external clock source over the hwclock. I believe enabling the local clock is still the default in openSUSE 12.2. As both [1] and [2] below do not recommend this for client-only installations (i.e. most installations except the ones that have other NTP clients themselves), I suggest disabling it by default (and maybe putting a nice check-box into the YaST module to make it easily configurable).
