I was wondering if there were any patches for the kde2 source available that would make it so the hooks that SuSE puts into their release of kde would be possible when compiling from source.

My experience of the SuSE KDE2 packages is that they've added Yast2 into KControl (which is good) and made the whole of KDE2 insanely unstable (which is bad!). SuSE KDE2 under SuSE-7.1 crashes daily (and often takes the X server down with it); self compiled for the same environment I've not seen any of it crash in weeks.

Strange. I hav never had a crash with kde2.1.1. Seems very stable here once the startkde script is fixed... -- Mark Hounschell dmarkh@cfl.rr.com

I guess your mileage has the right to vary. :) I've tried it on 3 different machines and had nothing but trouble from it on each one. Each time a recompile from source completely solved the problems.

Once the startkde script is fixed? Can you elaborate on that a little bit please? :-) I haven't touched my startkde script.. is there something I'm missing? Thanks, Steven

There is a line: LD_BIND_NOW=true kdeinit +kdesktop +kcminit +kicker +klipper +khotkeys kwrited that according to the kde folks, that as of 2.1 should read LD_BIND_NOW=true kdeinit +kcminit instead because they changed the way/when things get started. The most prevalent symptoms are the splash screen hang and llooonnnggg logout times but it fixes other things also. Mark

They must have fixed it in their distribution of KDE packages on the LinuKS site, because it's already set properly in my startkde script. I have an incredibly stable KDE2 environment, so the folks at SuSE (and KDE, obviously) are doing something right. So everyone who hasn't upgraded to the newest KDE2 stuff at SuSE's site (http://www.suse.de/en/support/download/LinuKS/i386/update_for_7_1/index.html) should do so soon, imho. Have a great week! -Steven
Hi All & Derek, who typed.... <snip>

<snip> Most strange! I've found KDE solid as, out of the box or down the wire.... The only time it went to hell, for a bit, was with the Nivida driver issues... Sometimes I log out of X & nothing appears after the cursor-but-a command typed & "entered," will be followed. Yuk. I look forwards to new drivers from Nvidia &/v the new KDE. I've never gotten ant-alising to work either-"render" goes though. Sigh & yuky fontz :-( Anyone know if there is a new one of these around? <snip> Antialiasing Fonts micro-HOWTO for SuSE 7., by Nadeem Hasan <snip> Still, Tux don't crash like Borg OS'z & of course is not polluted by the "Great Satan...." ;-) *BFN* & speedy compiling.

Must say I haven't had this problem ... wonder if it's the x-server config?
