To be clear, YaST2 looks for the DISPLAY environment variable. If
it's set, it uses the GUI mode (on the X11 display indicated by

I was about to say the very same thing, but it's not correct. If you
run 'yast', you get the ncurses interface, if you run YaST2 you get
the GUI (assuming DISPLAY is set). I've just tried it on an 11.1
system.
What I wrote is true, and I tested all the invocations I gave.
