If Luca is right (and I think he is) then I would like to point out that you agreed to the following when you installed Mesa-dri-nouveau on your system:
"WARNING: Nouveau DRI/3D driver selected.
BTW: That warning is completely new to me, after two years of Nvidia GFX Card and Tumbleweed with Nouveau only.
Are you absolutely sure about "only"? I ask because /etc/X11/xorg_pci_ids/ was implemented around 20 months ago: https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=972126#c6
Nouveau has always been the standard selection on my TW systems, neither did I choose it nor did I get that message, it simply worked... I didn't have many problems with it. Last week was the first time I gave in and installed the NVIDIA drivers, but only because of the recent repository (and to check if that was the problem's root).
Did I miss something or do something wrong? There are more than just NVidia and Nouveau drivers for NVidia gfxchips since quite some years ago. Modesetting, a separate driver package pre-server-17.0, integrated since (2015-02-05 on TW), is a third. None of my GeForce-equipped PCs have (or ever had) non-FOSS drivers installed. Most use modesetting, only the tiny balance nouveau.
