Despite, what others write, there is no fork neccessary to keep KDE3 alive. KDE3 is still in KDE subversion repository and currently it will still be maintained for some time, so long someone does work on it. I am sure, it's base packages wil stay in the openSUSE distribution, as long as there are apps that need it and the rest will be available from the BuildService. Herbert, not to change he subject, but to change the subject, :), do you know if there will be a fix for the i965 and other Intel video chipsets in 11.1 by release?!
The only information I have is from the opensuse-commit mailing list. Up to now no driver update has occured. I am only an opensuse member, not an employee.
Ok.....just thought you'd heard something I hadn't. :(
I found that updating the 11.1 betas to RC1 just isn't a good idea. I did a clean RC1 install last night, and KDE 4.* behaves much better!! The only oddity I found is not being able to use the "Default" desktop without locking the widgets first, unless this is deliberate but undocumented. It's not a big deal....but wanted to note it.
I never observed such an issue. Please look if there is a bug report for this (I will have a look, too).
What I think happens is that the more once customizes his desktop, the greater the chances of an upgrade not working as it should. I did a clean install PLUS deleted the .kde4 dir. and a few other files that were related to KDE4. I think upgrades now should be ok.
At this point, I think my clients could use 11.1.....may be a few who can't, but certainly most could,
Nice to hear, that's that possible for you.
Based on what I see with a clean install, I think it is, EXCEPT for the Intel video drivers and has been reported, problems with some wifi drivers as well. ALL of my clients use the Intel Pro. wifi chipsets because I insist on it for any new purchased hardware....getting them to do this hasn't been a problem. But others here and on other lists have had problems with other chipsets.
EXCEPT for those with Intel video chipsets!! The performance is abysmal and simply must get fixed!
I have read in the mailing lists about such an issue. I am sure ther is already a bug report for this, but better you make sure it is.
Yes, there is....I just don't have the No.
I have an machine with an intel chipset myself (EEEPC 900A), an it works well, even with all graphics effect, which are mostly useless on this small screen.
There is that. The i965 and others are specifically noted as having problems. I do know that two other distos. use, I believe, the same driver used in 11.0 WITH the current kernel and performance is fairly good. I don't understand why that driver isn't used for the "problem" Intel chipsets until either Intel or Novell is able to fix the latest driver.
