For my hardware it seems to be broken because I can't login into KDE4. It simply comes back to login screen short after it tries to start KDE4. I previously reported this problem as comment #8 in bug 450893 (https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=450893#c7) but at that time I didn't know what is the cause. I still could log into KDE3 but in KDE3 I noticed that sysinfo:/ didn't work. Of course, sysinfo displays some information about graphic card so I came to idea that this might be different aspect of the same issue. After installing nvidia proprietary driver all problems have disappeared. I rate this as critical bug because default setup (if KDE3 is not installed) simply does not work and user have hard times to figure out how to fix it. Here is info about my hardware: grek-laptop:~ # hwinfo --gfxcard 26: PCI 100.0: 0300 VGA compatible controller (VGA) [Created at pci.318] UDI: /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/pci_10de_427 Unique ID: VCu0.fn56P0wnBA1 Parent ID: vSkL.vB63rdHOxV8 SysFS ID: /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:01:00.0 SysFS BusID: 0000:01:00.0 Hardware Class: graphics card Model: "nVidia GeForce 8400M GS" Vendor: pci 0x10de "nVidia Corporation" Device: pci 0x0427 "GeForce 8400M GS" SubVendor: pci 0x103c "Hewlett-Packard Company" SubDevice: pci 0x30cc Revision: 0xa1 Driver: "nvidia" Driver Modules: "nvidia" Memory Range: 0xce000000-0xceffffff (rw,non-prefetchable) Memory Range: 0xd0000000-0xdfffffff (rw,prefetchable) Memory Range: 0xcc000000-0xcdffffff (rw,non-prefetchable) I/O Ports: 0x2000-0x2fff (rw) IRQ: 16 (1297 events) I/O Ports: 0x3c0-0x3df (rw) Module Alias: "pci:v000010DEd00000427sv0000103Csd000030CCbc03sc00i00" Driver Info #0: XFree86 v4 Server Module: nvidia Driver Info #1: XFree86 v4 Server Module: nvidia 3D Support: yes Config Status: cfg=no, avail=yes, need=no, active=unknown Attached to: #9 (PCI bridge) -- 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.
