It looks bad, in my opinion, to release a distribution with a number of crashing applications and no 3-D acceleration on a whole set of displays. You would think people who try it would be happy to just have an online update to fix this major problem, but how many really do their online updates anyway? Please, please consider fixing this before releasing 11.4.

'nomodeset' solves the isue and it boots with radeonhd driver, so no GPU accel anyway. Before I found this bug report I was going to file a SHOWSTOPPER bug, since RC1 worked just fine with KMS enabled. Does anybody here believe regular users will wait for online update for a release, who's LiveCD does not even boot? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Using "nomodeset", and then forcing the radeon driver with the above mentioned approach makes desktop effects and other dri based apps work flawlessly.

Is this a LiveCD system? Then it would be a dup of bnc #675453, where we figured out that some radeon firmware files were missing in initrd and hence acceleration has been disabled.

That might just be it. I was puzzled as to how acceleration was working fine on my system after I upgraded to 11.4, but I just assumed it was because of some 11.3 artefact remaining back, this not being a clean installation but just an upgrade. So yes, everything works for me well now in a system installed from the DVD (I did not try an installation from the LiveCD though).
