Weird. Without more info I couldn't even guess at the problem. Maybe you should call SuSE and use their install support?

OTOH, if it's a fresh install, just reinstall it and hopefully the problem will go away.

Use another terminal to start the one that doesn't work, maybe it gives an error message.

this is an install problem. Is your hardrive partitioned? are you running a dual boot? Re-install Linux and its a 50% chance the problem will be fixed.

I had something similar happen and it had to do with my initdefault line. It sets your runlevel. I am not sure if this is applicable to Suse, but in RH I changed
id:3:initdefault:
to
id:5:initdefault:
into my /etc/inittab file and it fixed it.
Does this help or am I way off target?

HOWDY!

Try running startx from the console. If the xserver dies, it will display the errors. Your XF86Config-4 is most likely the culprit. You problably have it misconfigured for your hardware. Reinstalling will not solve anything if you can't configure x correctly.

I think you have to hit the reply button on one of blindjoker's messages for him/her to get the email notification of your post. It was sent to me because you replied to mine.

HOWDY!

Does it happen when you run another window manager like gnome?
