[QUOTE=mikewillis;27335]Well X is actually running so seems like just it’s configuration is messed up/wrong.
You could try copying /etc/X11/xorg.conf.install to /etc/X11/xorg.conf and see if that at least makes GDM visible.
[/QUOTE]
No luck.
[QUOTE=mikewillis;27335]You could also
$ systemctl stop display-manager
$ Xorg -configure
Then copy the resulting file to /etc/X11/xorg.conf[/QUOTE]
That went bad, too:

Rebooting using that one resulted in an earlier startup crash, returning to the terminal login, after just 16 rolling SUSE-dots… But, you might have guessed that already.
I will see if DELL can help me restore the xorg.conf for me.
Thanks for you help and time!
