openSUSE defaults to hostonly="yes": openSUSE aggressively optimizes for ramdisk size and boot speed. When you run an openSUSE installer over SSH or text mode, YaST builds an initramfs tailored strictly to the hardware it detected as active during that specific install phase. Since you bypassed the graphical display pipeline during the text/SSH run, openSUSE's Dracut config frequently omits the full-featured open-source video drivers and associated firmware, fallback-loading a basic VESA framebuffer (which locks you at 800x600).
