In my case, I use the same hardware I had when using SuSE 7.3 (upgraded to kernel 2.4.22, KDE 3.1.x, etc so it didn't look like a 7.3 anymore ;)).
Martin, I really hope this does not become a thread where everyone dumps their crashes on. Besides, i really think that you missed my point. The only purpose of my posting is to bring out the fact that there is no need (or use) for suse 9.1 until suse 9.0 (or less, 8.2 in my case) is fully functional. The root cause for instability *is* the brainless drive toward the next number version!!! Instead of adding one feature and 15 bugs and calling it 9.1, i would love to see a full accounting of just the 9.0 bugs first! I bet you would too... yes, it would not be as glamorous as a whole new version, but it would sure work better... it would also scare that known small and limp entity for real instead of just paying lip service to it...

Yesterday I had some crashes copying an URL using the mouse's right-button menu on Konqueror and some others when the screensaver was active (it's already turned off) and some others due to still unknown reasons...
Do we have to wait for SuSE 9.1 to hit the stores/FTP-servers to reach the lost stability we had with older SuSE versions?

Well, one last thought before I leave this thread as I think it may be getting to the point of going over to the Off-Topic list. I really think both you guys are blaming SuSE for something that is not SuSE's fault. Many of us here experience nothing but stability with our systems. I just tried your Realplayer and Pysol-Klondike test and had no problems. Played with both, had sound on both, changed settings while both played and everybody played well with each other. Now I do suspect that Realplayer is not the best, most stable program in Linux, but that's not SuSE's fault, they don't build that, remember? Plain, are you trying to use built-in sound or an added card? What other things don't work for you? Do you continually have little problems with other things? Hardware & software have to be friendly and our choices should reflect that. Simply saying Windows works ok on it proves nothing, as the Windows driver makers have access to all the hardware bugs to work around. Martin, your problem would probably come from some old settings or just bad settings or user error. It's easy to blame something or somebody, when you should be investigating what you might have done lately to cause the behavior. I am sure Konq hasn't been doing this all the time, just started? You should be searching down the problem, instead of trying to blame something or someone for the problem. I'm not trying to take all the blame off SuSE either, as they have their brain farts too, but overall, and I think most will agree, SuSE puts out a quality, stable product. Whether the user makes the effort or not to help see it stays stable is up to them.
