There was indeed an update, a few weeks ago, IIRC even a security update, which updated X11, but not the drivers, and stopped X from loading, just like described here by the OP. Took me half a day of googling and thinking and sweating to find and solve it. Here is what I remember:
First of all this seems to be a problem which appeared only with x86_64, not with the 32 bit version.
I had xorg-x11-7.2-whatever and the update installed xorg-x11-7.3-whatever. The update should have pulled in the xorg-x11 driver etc modules for 7.3 too, because the 7.2 driver modules do not work with xorg-x11-7.3 (I think that is even mentioned somewhere in the 7.3 sources)
(The 32 bit versions are for whatever reasons still on 7.2, thus this problem does not show.)
So after the upgrade I had a mix of 7.3 and 7.2
- xorg-x11-7.3-whatever - xorg-x11-server-7.3-whatever - xorg-x11-driver-input-7.2-whatever - xorg-x11-driver-video-7.2-whatever - etc.
and about the same errors as mukul. After upgrading all other xorg-x11 parts to 7.3 the error disappeared and X came up fine again.
Now I have all on 7.3.x :
- xorg-x11-server-7.3-10 - xorg-x11-7.3-9 - xorg-x11-driver-video-7.3-12 - xorg-x11-driver-input-7.3-8 etc.
Then may I suggest that you remove factory from your installation sources
These packages were never released for 10.3, but they are in the factory repository (which is never a safe thing to use, unless you really know what you're doing, and are prepared to do some beta testing for the next version)

Yes, Anders, thanks, that was it. I have indeed factory still in there for Yast, as I'm running a constantly updated beta 3 of 10.3 ... (even in production due to 10.2 not supporting yet the built in ethernet of the Asus Aspire 4520G notebook). I do not have factory as channel in smart, which I usually use for installs, but the security updates I do with Yast, and there I got it... Anyway, may be that was the problem of the OP too, the error message at least is the same.
