Why not start VESA to have some GUI and then ask questions.
Why not boot into failsafe mode after having seen this confusing error message "Login:" in the Linux console?
Once non-experinced user sees only login prompt, he's already in trouble, and doesn't know how to reboot without power switch, reset button, or maybe CAD. Then too, does he have any idea what that failsafe mode is, or that it is a means to fixing what broke? If the system hasn't already auto-fixed at this point, good chance he isn't smarter than the devs who allowed him to get to this point in the first place.
Then, running X with configuration from installation (xorg.conf.install), I would expect an average user will notice that resolution, color depth, mouse, keyboard ore touchpad settings are no longer optimal
Don't be too sure he will notice anything at all, or that if he does notice anything other than lack of speed, that he will recognize just what it is that is different, or any need to reconfigure to reach whatever it is that may be optimal.
and he will change that by using the appropriate YaST module (which is a frontend to SaX2). I don't see the problem here.
Upthread info & Google indicate other distros either auto-fix X or auto-start an interactive X configurator. I've seen no good reason demonstrated in thread for similar behavior (e.g. auto-start SaX2) not to be the configured SUSE default. -- "Unless the Lord builds the house, its builders labor in vain."
