I'm running Suse 9.1 Pro and did an online update of packages through
Yast. Shutdown the computer and upon booting later, the system does all
it usual stuff and appears to book fine. However when at the point when
it should startX and show the Login and password boxes, the screen just
goes blank.

Has anyone experienced this problem and if so willing to share their
pearls of wisdom?

Oh please don't tell me another re-install!
