   Ah, yes. It uses more basic graphical modes which should work on any   
   machine.

   AFAIK, there is no graphical configuration module in YaST, that   
   disappeared years ago. Instead, the distribution relies in the   
   autoconfiguration powers of X or wayland. If that fails, you have rescue   
   mode (I also forgot about it) and editing files, or installing/removing   
   packages.
