I got "systemctl start xdm.service" to start after installing many more x items via YAST. No idea which specific thing it was that "fixed it".
startx is unhappy. Below is the screen output. I suspect I still need to run a setup/config for this specific machine, as the config file I copied from another is old and has bad keywords. I've not found one as yet.
If xdm.service is running, and you get a graphical session, then you do not need to try startx. Copying the config file is a bad idea. In fact, the default is no config file (talking of /etc/X11/xorg.conf). If you copied it, you should delete it.

Is this a virtual machine?

This last error is expected. Ignore it for now. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.3 x86_64 at Telcontar)
