Most people don't need video=. Grub2 has an entirely separate and less ^^^^ simple mechanism for configuring itself and what it passes on to what follows. Grub2 needs neither vga= nor video=. AFAICT, it doesn't pass vga=, and even if it does, KMS overrides it. What it does or not with video= I don't know. I don't use Grub2 much, and not at all with openSUSE.
I have an old laptop that does need "vga=791" in grub2, or it doesn't work correctly :-P
With what gfxchip, ATI Rage*? Cirrus Logic? Matrox? Trident? Many old gfxchips have no KMS support, so vga= remains useful for them. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
