I had a similar problem with SuSE 9.3. My experience with this is archived
at:
http://www.schestowitz.com/UseNet/2005/December_2005_3/msg00030.html
By using the handbook, I managed to solve this very quickly. I found some
intuitive instructions at the start of the guide, so it was a copy and paste
job. This soon resolves the issue of getting no graphical login screen.

Hope it helps,
