/var/log/Xorg.0.log

Would be my first stop, as the major source of issues resulting in no 
graphical display.

My guess is that on an upgrade YaST doesn't modify /etc/X11.xorg.conf, hence 
there is no appropriate config for the X server to work with. Need to use the 
sax tool to configure for the hardware, i.e.

# init 3
# sax

Do the config.

# init 5
