Did `zypper in vm-install` miss some dependencies?
By default vm-install will use libvirt to create VMs.  Using the '--use-xl' flag when
starting vm-install will ignore libvirt and just use Xen's 'xl' toolstack directly.
Also when you were asked,
Please specify the type of virtualized graphics hardware.
  1: No Graphics Support
  2: Paravirtualized Graphics Adapter

You should select '1' here and it won't start a graphical installation (should run in the
same window as vm-install is running).
vm-install --use-xl
