Switching kernels is not something I'm familiar with, so I've reverted to the original Desktop kernel. I'm sure this graphics problem with KDE 4 will sort itself out sooner or later, so I'll sit tight and wait.
Actually, I know I won't, as soon as I see another suggested cure ;)

this is probably totally off, but you don't have the machine to set to runlevel 5 and auto login as a particular user do you? that seems to be a default check on install, is the only reason I ask. at work we found a similar sort of issue where it seems that *dm and the auto login stuff would somehow end up fighting for the display and run CPU usage up. it seemed to behave reasonably if you either used auto login and put some logic in to .profile/login/whatever to do a startx if on a regular tty, and disable the display manager (or just set the runlevel back to 3)... or do the exact opposite and use the display manager to login. -- Even the Magic 8 ball has an opinion on email clients: Outlook not so good. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
