What happens if you boot runlevel 3 instead of 5 and start KDE using startx
or startkde?

What happens if you do 'rckdm restart' instead of /usr/bin/xdm?

What is your gfxcard chip?

What clues do you find in /var/log/Xorg.0.log?

What happens if you do a BIOS reset?

Do you have /etc/X11/xorg.conf? If not, as root, run 'sax2' and/or 'X
-configure' and see if the behavior changes.

Lots of things to try easier than reinstalling a whole OS. The problem might
be specific to openSUSE, so maybe good to ask on the opensuse-kde list too.
