This is very unusual. toggling between runlevel 3 & 5 normally fixes
things
that go crash in the X night.

You will need to find the process number that has everything tied up...
killing them thoughtfully one by one (from the bottom) is one way to handle
this... a little experience will tell you which to try first... but obviously
anything having to do with X, kde, or anything that may touch the video in
any obscure way (gaming, etc). If the normal kill doesn't get it then a hard
kill will be required (use with caution):
kill -9 <proc number> as root.
Have you mixed and matched SUSE kde with stock kde?
