A. When you log into the machine running the Xserver via ssh, can you do a vt switch by doing something like # chvt 1 (as root)?
No. The ssh session locks up, but can be cleared with CTL-C
OK.
B. From remote find the PID of the Xserver and do an strace -p <PID> Is the server woken up by a SIGALRM from time to time?
How would I check that? Is that default for OpenSUSE? I haven't changed anything like that.
The output of strace will show you. If there is no output then the Xserver is not woken up.
C. From remote get the PID of the Xserver and do: gdb /usr/bin/X <PID> to attach the debugger to the running Xserver. In gdb please do:
bt to get a backtrace. Please paste the results here.
