I've had this problem almost since I installed 8.0. My particular symptom included the segmentation fault. I've just done some checking on the yast2 script which actally runs /usr/lib/YaST2/bin/y2base to call the various modules with this line (154): /usr/lib/YaST2/bin/y2base $module "$@" qt -geometry "$Y2_GEOMETRY" -style="$Y2_STYLE" -fn $Y2_XFONT The error occurs at line 154 which is where the call to y2base occurs. I've found by trial and error changes in the script that the problem is related to the -geometry setting. Y2_GEOMETRY is set to 800x600 in the script. With either no geometry setting, or with the setting changed to 640x480, everything seems to work. I haven't tried other settings to see if other options work. This is on a laptop with 1024x760 resolution. I'm sure there's a ??logical?? explanation for this, but for the time being, I don't see much problem with the 640x480 setting. Bernie w1az@arrl.net
