I can't help with the xwindow problem but with the bootloader: you need to reinstall Grub using Yast to recalculate the entries for Grub's menu. Do this after booting into openSUSE:

go to Yast --> System --> Boot Loader. The Grub configuration screen comes up with the Tab "Section Management" activated. In the lower right is a drop-down selector labelled "Other". Select from "Other" the option "Propose New Configuration" and then wait for Grub to analyse your partitions and display a new configuration. This may take a while. Important: When that finishes, activate the tab labelled "Boot Loader Installation" and select to "Boot from the Master Boot Record". [Yast will often default to booting from the root or boot partition rather than from the MBR but that's for experts only -- always choose the MBR.] Then click Finish to save the changes and install the reconfigured Grub into the hard drive's MBR. If you get a message that "The bootloader boot sector will be written to a floppy disk ......... don't bother with the floppy -- just click OK to proceed and install to the MBR. Reboot and you should be able to boot to openSUSE using the Grub menu screen.

The quote comes from here:
GRUB Boot Multiboot openSUSE Windows (2000, XP, Vista) using the Grub bootloader.
The new Grub menu should contain an entry for vista. If that entry has problems, make sure it looks like this in menu.lst:
Quote:
title Windows bootloader menu
rootnoverify (hdx,y)
chainloader (hdx,y)+1

where x,y is most often 0,0 for vista on the first partition. If puzzled, post here the menu.lst entry that you find for vista together with the return you get in a terminal when you enter this command:
Code:
sudo /sbin/fdisk -l
