Hello Alex.
You'll get better answers with this question on the Open Suse Lists.
You're problem is that you are setting up SUSE to use vnc one way,
and then trying to connect to SUSE with vnc via a different method.
I know, it sounds like giberish. So here's the beef:
In Yast2 check the following setting:
System->/etc/syconfig Editor
Desktop->Display manager:
DISPLAYMANAGER_REMOTE_ACCESS = YES
After exiting yast, in a console screen (<CTRL><ALT><F1>)
sign-in as root and type "init 3", once X-Windows is down restart it
with "init 5". Try VNC connection again.
