Try openSUSE 13.1 Beta 1 http://software.opensuse.org/developer/en or
if this doesn't work try at the same page with network install media.
The above mentioned 13.1 is not yet 100% stable but it should fix your
issues since it has the new X anyway.

Post updates, we verified that the NVIDIA drivers (319.32) were installed and working. Then, with no other desktop setting changes or applications installed, we opened Firefox, and X crashed immediately.
Logged back in and tried Chomium... which also crashed X after opening a website (specifically the Skype website).

Well it seems to be crashing in X itself.
Have you tried adding this repository: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/XOrg/openSUSE_12.3/ This is an updated Xorg which fixes tons of problems. If you do add it, I recommend you first apply any pending upgrades, then attach that repository and allow vendor changes (because otherwise even though that package has later versions, they won't get applied unless you allow the vendor change).
After updating Xorg from that repository, you will then want to turn off vendor changes.
We gave up at 01:00 last night - by the time we quit, KDE wouldn't even start after running the post-install online updates. This was on a new clean install without adding any repositories, only install with defaults, run updates and splat, X would segfault on login. We couldn't get it to the point of adding the Xorg repo post updates.
We are going to give it a go again later today. We will (assuming we can get it to start up on 12.3) try to add the Xorg repo as the first major step post install, set its priority higher, and "switch system packages". Then update.. maybe this way it'll work.
The hardware seems to be OK. It was running Windows fine, and another Linux distro installed fine, and was running up until we started this journey into openSUSE.
Another thought... could it be the UEFI? It's in full UEFI mode right now (with secure boot turned off). I haven't tried booting/installing in BIOS Legacy mode....
