I've not yet tried TDE on OS, but will once I've found instructions to get it using zypper. My usual OS installation method is from minimal X to KDE3 via zypper.
Here are the instructions I found (and used) to install via zypper (although I did a standard install with KDE 4 as I may wish to run some KDE apps, even if I don't like the desktop):
First of all, thanks for your answers. However, I saw mostly installation of yours were Minimal X + Trinity or you installed OpenSUSE with default desktop (KDE 4) then installed Trinity. Also, I think minimal installation without X causes some permission problems or something else to prevent opening kdm. Hence, when you did a minimal X installation, your system has tones of unnecessary packages like some ncurses applications of yast and with dependencies, bootsplash etc etc (for me of course).
- Configure the supplementary PACKMAN repository
Instructions: http://packman.links2linux.org/
- Configure the ZYPPER repository (as root user)
For OpenSUSE? 12.2 (v3.5.13.1) zypper ar -t YUM -G http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity/rpm/opensuse12.2/... -i) trinity zypper ar -t YUM -G http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity/rpm/opensuse12.2/... trinity-noarch zypper refresh
- Install the Trinity desktop environment
zypper install trinity-desktop
After that I logged out, then in changing the session to TDE, that's all

Besides, I tried minimal OpenSUSE install + simple Xorg server + Trinity, still Trinity and kdm not starting. Hence, I looked at logs and there's no error about kdm or anything related with Trinity. After all, I think I'm going to choose Minimal X + Trinity installation and I'll inform you what I achieved..
Thanks for your answers. If someone will try minimal without X then install Xorg and try to install and run Trinity and in the end success to run, let me know. Sincerely,
Eren
