I know I solved this before, but... If I disable graphical booting, I get a error in SuSE saying that the X server should not be set to SUID root. I would like to boot to console mode only but cannot remember what I did before. It claims something about Xwrapper also.
I did use yast to tell the system not to boot to a display manager.
One fix is to launch the X server as Xwrapper, not X. Easy way to do this on SuSE 7.0 is cp .xserverrc.secure .xserverrc in your home dir. Startx invokes xinit which groks .xserverrc.
