You can try earlier with 11.2 release :)
The 4.3 is for a while my default desktop and recently since M6 11.2 is daily used.
The problems are: - nvidia has to be compiled as 11.2 changes too often to have 1-click- but now in 11.2 I need kernel-syms package instead of kernel-sources, which is much smaller to install and update - Packman xine, for multimedia has to be compiled - there is no installable version until 11.2 is released - I'm better of without much desktop effects as 22" screen and Nvidia FX5200 is not the best combination to have them running
One problem that has nothing to do with hardware is that there is so much new things that is hard to follow. Although my desktop looks now like 3.5 + some simple desktop effects, there is so much more left to learn.

Rajko, the last time i tried 11.2 and kde4 i did get an install, BUT, when i tried to "register" and get the repo updates, I got into an endless loop. clearly, that could not be my fault, i still had not used 11.2, I had simply clicked on the "get updates" button during the install, a thing we all do on a new install!!! I(YES< i HAD filled the reg form correctly, but i always only allow hardare info feedback, *not* the *extra* shtuff!).. filed a bug report and got a response much like said endless loop, about 3 weeks later i received an email presumably from bugzilla, i clicked on the link, got to my bug, alas, there was *nothing new* there...bugzilla can still be quite frustrating to plain folx who think simply... honestly, it is going to take a lot of praise posts before i try kde4 again. As I said in my earlier post, 11.2 and gnome fired right up, but frankly i could not find anything there that my old 10.3 /kde3 ould not do. i am not a latest and greatest kind of a guy, but i will not blindly refuse to see something new that really works. kde4 has a long way to go before it fits that description, so i will wait. i have no need for added frustrations into my daily routine... d. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
