For starters, despite my best attempts with sax2, I cannot get my display to change resolution to something other than 800x600. Sax2 allowed me to choose the monitor I have the box connected to at the moment. A NEC Accusync95F, with details set to 19" 5/4 and with the correct size, Horiz. and Vert. freq. ranges. However, sax2 detected my 8800GT as a generic frame buffer card. Sax does allow me to choose the resolution I want 1280x1024, but when I hit test, the screen come up in 800x600 no matter what I do. I have had this problem with XP before, but never with openSuSE. I'm sure a large part of this is due to the fact my 8800 GT was configured as a frame buffer device.
Good news is the latest nvidia 177.80 driver works fine with beta 5 kernel, at least the 32 bit one does for me. That should sort out your video.
Double lastly, I can't put my finger on it, but there is a speed issue with KDE4. When clicking different dialog, notably in KDE control center, you can count to 3 before the next tab on the dialog actually appears. If I'm seeing slowness on a phenom 9850, 4G and an NV8800GT, then it must be really slow on all the earlier pentiums, etc.. What is everyone else seeing?
An interesting thing I've found with the kde beta 4 live cd is my lowly 64 bit celeron dual core with only 1 gig ram running at 1600 MHz visibly outperforms an amd 64 dual core running at 2400MHz with 2 gig ram.
