Thanks, Felix, but I had already seen that and tried it, to no great
effect. I should have said so. Except that I see the log I filed
doesn't say so. Here is (part of) one that does, and fails similarly-

Apologies. Problem remains, however.
Did you try other things suggested in that thread or the openSUSE bug referenced
there
https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1004453 ?
e.g. disabling framebuffer?
Note in that bug I declared the problem solved using the 4.10 kernel, but 4.9
works too.
Which is yours PCIe, or AGP?
Which WM/DE(s) is/are you trying to use?
Can you see any other clues than Xorg.0.log shows by running
'journalctl -b -1'?
