The best that I've managed so far is to change the kdmrc ServerCmd
setting to 'echo blah'! This does stop the a local X server being run,
but it doesn't seem the right way of doing this!

Set the runlevel to 3 rather than 5 in the init scripts.

If you just do that I suspect xdm will no longer start, so you'll also
need to change xdm to start in runlevel 3. Try looking in /etc/inittab
for both of these, but it might be started from elsewhere with Suse..
