No easy solutions...

If you are sure that mesa 13.x works for you, then you must try it, again.
I can't help you with packages, but you should be able to download the old
packages manually and install them manually too.
It might be PITA as it seems that OpenSUSE breaks Mesa on multiple packages,
like mesa, mesa-drm, mesa-libva, mesa-libgl1, mesa-libd3d...
https://software.opensuse.org/package/Mesa

Most packages should be forward compatible, so you don't have to downgrade
stuff like libdrm. 
However the tricky moment here is LLVM. Most likely only Mesa depends on LLVM,
so you have to downgrade both at the same time (and nothing else).

Theoretically it might still be possible to compile your own mesa-13.x from
source, if there are still some issue with the other dependencies. LLVM might
be the tricky part here, you might need matching older version.

Are there live cd's with OpenSuse? Something you can start without installing
it?.
