I have now 2 versions, one as init-script and one as a post-script.
With the init-script the machine boots up to the xdm login screen and
the
chvt changes then to another console (8 in my case).
The post-script installs a script in /etc/init.d and activates it with
chkconfig. This has the advantage that I can place the script more
precisely in the boot process and the machine stops booting at some
point.

My problem is that YaST comes up all messed up. It looks like YaST draws
the screen correctly. But then it activates the input fields with wrong
offsets.

My Script looks like this (the real script is much larger, but this is
essentially what I do to start YaST):

    <init-scripts config:type="list">
      <script>
        <debug config:type="boolean">true</debug>
        <filename>sysetup.sh</filename>
        <location></location>
        <source><![CDATA[#!/bin/bash
chvt 8
exec 0<> /dev/tty8 1>&0 2>&0
REDIRECT="`showconsole 2>/dev/null`"
export REDIRECT
set -- $(stty size < $REDIRECT)
LINES=$1
COLUMNS=$2
if test $COLUMNS -eq 0 ; then
        LINES=24
        COLUMNS=80
        test "$TERM" = "linux" -o -z "$TERM" && TERM=vt102
fi
export LINES COLUMNS
yast2 lan
]]></source>
      </script>
    </init-scripts>

Any idea how I can make YaST look clean and easy ?

Sincerely
Bernhard
