Hey Sudhir, for 3.11.x aka current kernel in 13.1 you can just add the nvidia 
driver repo from Yast/Software Repositories/Community.

331.38 is there already. No need to manage all of the above posted.

Just add the repo, install nvidia-gfxG03-kmp-desktop package (for newer NVIDIA 
cards) and you're set.
