What happens if you press <ctrl><alt><F1> to go to a text screen (tty1)?
If it gives you a login screen, then login as root and use sax.

Not sure if this is the culprit, but when I used SuSE I found that it
sometimes broke the video driver for my nVidia card during upgrades.
Easy to fix with sax as it will run in text mode.

Just a thought
