I did a clean install of 7.2 last night, and it seemed to go pretty well. However, when I started KDE, it was VERY slow. I tried renaming .kde2 and restarting KDE, but it didn't help. Any other ideas about why it would be so slow? When I ran "switch2nvidia_glx" and then tried to run "gears", it wouldn't run - it said something about Open GL and display 0:0 .....? I never saw this w/ 7.1. I then installed Xfree86 4.1 (rpms from SuSE), installed the latest nvidia drivers (1.0) and ran sax2. This worked as long as I chose the nvidia driver (and not the nv driver). Which is the SuSE driver, and which is the driver from nvidia? In any case, X will not start. I get messages saying that it can't find libXmuu.so.1. Isn't this one of the shared libraries which would be in the xshared.rpm? If it's missing, where can I get it? While installing the new X, I noticed a number of error messages related to not being able to delete certain files (I think they were font files) because they didn't exist. I didn't think it would be a problem if it was only trying to replace font files which didn't exist. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
