Your region 0 is 32M, and your videoram=16, so opensuse is not paying any 
attention to the videoram. Actually, this is exactly what my winxp domu says - 
2 regions of 32m and 4k. I'm beginning to think the videoram= line only 
applies if stdvga=1, but everything is predefined for stdvga=0 - the cirrus 
model.

I'm going to assume you picked the xen enabled kernel in the grub display.

Alright, why don't you post the full config for your hvm opensuse domu? Maybe 
something else will jump out at me.
