Ah - the automatic configuration of the X server. If that's the case, you will need to create a new xorg.conf to force some settings for X, since the default settings aren't working so well for you. Just put:
Section "Device" Driver "radeonhd" Option "AccelMethod" "none" EndSection
into the new xorg.conf, and try starting X again.
That does not solve the VT switch problem :(

I don't think I can help any further - this is beyond my knowledge. :( I have had similar problems in the past as well (starting X from text mode in Slackware and quitting back) - but I was luckier than you: sometimes it would quit correctly and give me the console, but it varied a lot basically. It might be something to do with X not clearing the graphics buffer properly upon quitting, but this is pure guessing on my part. As a workaround, you could configure openSUSE to boot directly into text mode: it would involve adding a new boot entry to GRUB with the default settings, but with a runlevel appended to the end of the "kernel" entry in menu.lst (you'll need to check /etc/inittab for the text mode runlevel - it changes depending on the distro).
