Opensuse's SDB says Nvidia linux drivers work "flawlessly" with Leap and installation is "trivial". Well, it is not. First one has to install gcc, kernel-sources and kernel-devel, but it is not a big deal. But at the end of installation Nvidia tells you that it could not symlink to /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 and two other files because they exist. And it is right. I tried to delete them, but it still insists that those files exist. I went through the exercise on my Leap desktop machine, I don't recall any such issues. Maybe because I needed an older nvidia driver.
Your description "it could not symlink to /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 and two other files because they exist." doesn't sound correct - are you sure that's what it says?

Well, Im quite but not absolutely sure. Installation said it could not symlink to /usr/lib/libGL.so.1, libGL.so and libGLX_nvidia.so.0. And in a second sentence: Reason: "file exists". That sounds like it couldn't create the symlink because it already exists.
I would experiment with the driver, if I knew how to revert without much pain to nouveau, i.e a working system. When you want the proprietary driver, blacklist 'nouveau', when you want nouveau, un-blacklist it. Rebuild initrd.
Strange -- I have never done this (rebuilding initrd). I just compile/install the driver and reboot.
BTW the final step of installation is to run mkinitrrd, but it hangs for me. That's a serious problem - you're it's hanging and not just taking longer the normal? At which stage does it appear to be hanging?
