If you don't mind messing with the startup scripts then change the default
runlevel in /etc/inittab. In Slackware runlevel 3 is multiuser and 4 is
graphical logon and it will prolly be the same in SuSE. It should be
documented in the inittab file itself. I presume it looks for kdm/gdm first
and if it can't find them it spawns xdm. It's a sad day for linux when you
have to change things like that using the setup utilities.
