I removed the nvidia board and installed my new old HD6570 and booted up but it just drops to a cli login with an error about SP5100-tco (nvidia also displays this message so i've assumed its not important).
It first blew out with an error to say i had to enable a BIOS setting for Virtualisation which I did and it cleared that error.
I've also put "radeon.cik_support=1 radeon.si_support=1" on the kernel parameters via yast but still no joy.
Your 6570 is too old for either to apply, so they both should be inert.
i've deleted them from the list
The Radeon software is installed and running according to the logs, i've checked journalctl for Radeon errors but no joy.
What simple thing have I missed as I'm a bit out of my depth here?
I read the whole thread. You should have already pastebin'd /var/log/Xorg.0.log by now so people can see what clues it provides.
cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | susepaste -n ianseeks -e 10080
I didn't know which log to check until you and Carlos mentioned it. I'll have to swap the boards over again and save it before i put the Nvidia /Nouveau back in to reply to emails. its currently full of nvidia data I got this from journalctl Nov 21 15:44:05 LianLi sddm[1090]: Initializing...

It doesn't always work, for me at least, as it seems that host isn't up 24/7 or 7 days/week. https://paste.opensuse.org/lists will list it if successful. Any pastebin will do, as long as it isn't a host requiring browser scripting enabled.
You may find the newer technology driver solves the problem. Remove:
xorg-x11-driver-video xf86-video-ati xf86-video-r128 xf86-video-mach64
That should replace the radeon DDX display driver to cause fallback to the newer technology default modesetting DIX display driver. For more info: <https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/562680-AMD-Intel-amp-NVidia-X-graphics-driver-primer-third-edition>
If ever you had had NVidia's proprietary drivers installed, there could be .conf files left behind, etc/X11/xorg.conf or multiple in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/*.conf that could prevent FOSS display drivers from working. The same goes for cmdline options in /boot/grub2/grub.cfg. Those in current use show up in Xorg.0.log.
What does
lsmod | grep -E 'vid|radeo'
report?
i'll have to swp boards over again and check
I have a 6450 working as expected without Plymouth installed:
Another poster has said they had problems with Plymouth and had to remove it to work
