It looks bad, in my opinion, to release a distribution with a number of crashing applications and no 3-D acceleration on a whole set of displays. You would think people who try it would be happy to just have an online update to fix this major problem, but how many really do their online updates anyway? Please, please consider fixing this before releasing 11.4.

'nomodeset' solves the isue and it boots with radeonhd driver, so no GPU accel anyway. Before I found this bug report I was going to file a SHOWSTOPPER bug, since RC1 worked just fine with KMS enabled.

Yes, that would be really useful and rather trivial to do.

It is not the radeon driver. Note this worked fine in 11.4 RC1. Note in 11.4 RC2 I was able to get the radeon driver working by booting liveCD with nomodeset, init 3, edit 50-device.conf to uncomment radeon driver, and then init 5 and radeon driver worked. So for some reason, NOT using nomodeset causes a freeze on Radeon HD3450 hardware immediately after the line: 'creating device modes with udev' . If there is planned to be an approach to address this, it would be useful to know, as I attempt to provide support on openSUSE forums, and I will be able to do my best there to provide guidance. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Is this a LiveCD system? Then it would be a dup of bnc #675453, where we figured out that some radeon firmware files were missing in initrd and hence acceleration has been disabled.
That might just be it. I was puzzled as to how acceleration was working fine on my system after I upgraded to 11.4, but I just assumed it was because of some 11.3 artefact remaining back, this not being a clean installation but just an upgrade. So yes, everything works for me well now in a system installed from the DVD (I did not try an installation from the LiveCD though).
