http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=508549 Summary: Enabling desktop effects causes blank screen with cursor on it. System Unresponsive Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.2 Version: Milestone 2 Platform: i686 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.1 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: KDE4 Workspace AssignedTo: kde-maintainers@suse.de ReportedBy: novell@rvp.endjunk.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.1b4) Gecko/20090426 SUSE/3.5b4-2.1 Firefox/3.5b4 Graphics card is: Chip: 0 is -> ATI Radeon X300 (RV370) 5B60 (PCIE) 01:00:0 0x1002 0x5b60 AGP radeon PC is a Dell Dimension D8400 Enabling Desktop effects causes the screen to go blank with the cursor still sitting in the middle. The cursor does not show "busy" but you never see the popup panel asking you to accept the desktop setting and the system never "returns" back to normal. You also cannot ctrl alt f1 to get to the console. A manual shutdown was finally required. Upon rebooting it appeared desktop effects were enabled. I attempted to click on "My Computer" to get system information for the bugzilla report and got a blue box on the screen with an "out of range" message and horizonal/vertical ranges. (apparently from the lcd monitor) and system was hard frozen requiring a reboot. Once again I was unable to get to console. I rebooted again and disabled the desktop effect checkbox. I then went back into desktop effects and tried to enable them but using xrender instead of opengl. This time I was told the system could not do so with the current configuration and it was reset to desktop effects being disabled. The use of desktop effects worked flawlessly on this system for Milestone 1. Why is Opensuse 11.2 still not a choice for the pulldown menu? Reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1.Enable Desktop Effects 2. 3. Actual Results: See Details Expected Results: Confirmation to keep new settings panel should be displayed. Install was done using an i686 livecd. It was in a virginal state as this occured on it's first bootup. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
