SaX2 No gui found

Ive run into a hitch with SuSE9.1 where when I run sax2 at runlevel 3 it reports no gui found and dumps me at a sax2> prompt.. I have been running apt update/upgrade for a while now and assume that this has broken me. Anyone else run into this issue? Did some google searches and found only one hit relevant. It didn't appear to be solved. Regards- Jim Bonnet
