Comment # 2 on bug 905351 from Nathan Cutler

Just to add to what Frank wrote: 

The instructions on the wiki have been tested with openSUSE 13.1, so they
really do work. 

That said, this is an area where folks commonly get themselves into trouble by
"over-experimenting", i.e. installing lots of stuff over other stuff, compiling
drivers from source, etc. without knowing what they are doing. They make a mess
of their system and then they come to the forum and start asking for help.

When trying to help people, it might be worth mentioning that the wiki
instructions were tested with on a fresh, clean, vanilla installation.

As for using Bumblebee with the nouveau driver, for this you just skip the
"Install NVIDIA driver" section completely. The driver gets installed
automatically as a dependency. This has been tested as well.
