If you want to go bleeding edge again stay with the tutorial and keep compiling from git.
the mesa repo is still there, but vovochka renamed it slightly and pulled in mesa 10.2 and xserver 1.16rc2 so beware (works fine here with E350):

Problem is that there are no alsa-related rpms in his repo... which I assumed to be needed since the path of the repo contained *alsa*. Might that I assumed wrong.

anyway. thanks for the hint. I´ll have to update the howto in some points. the git branch also changed if you don´t want to stay on 13.0 RC1 (gotham). So I switched to 14.0 alpha, called G-Linux, which is said to be containing important patches.
I´ll try to find more information on this branch...maybe there is another thread somewhere.

I am using XBMC from the Pacman repo. I think it's working good enough (for me, at least). Anyway, thanks for your tutorial!

PS: Did you ever thought to open a separate thread for XBMC on OpenSuse? It would certainly be easier to follow (and to maintain).
