That's what I'm talking about, yes. Annoys the hell out of me.

Nope - I left the vga= in GRUB, and found somewhere else to turn it off.
:-) The vga=0x31 or whatever it set mine to by default is nice - sets the
vga to 132 column, 50 line mode {I think}.
There's an option in YAST to disable the themes - and I think that was
what did it. I also turned off the splash screen {the "Hit F2 for details}
while I was at it.
Goddamned things that have to look like WindoZe! :-)
