   startx is used, as root, for diagnostics of the graphical driver.   
      
   If that works, then try the normal graphical login, which in ancient   
   lore was "init 5". The syntax still works in Leap.   
      
   If that doesn't work, stop and analyze the logs.

   How do you upgrade? The only supported method is "zypper dup" as root.

   Absolutely.
