The applications work perfectly well on my two other machines that don't have the graphics problems. I would also remind you that the identical scrolling problem also affected my machine with an nVidia graphics card, a GeForce FX 5200. Although this is no longer showing the same symptoms, it suggests the problem may not be in the driver itself but in the handling software. I'll have to make a fresh installation of RC1 in order to get the information you requested. I still regard this fault as critical. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Scrolling problems appeared as before but I also noticed it happened when moving windows across the screen. Don't recall seeing this before but may have missed it. Switched user to root and tried setting up with SAX2 (without changing settings) but things started going haywire in "test". Ctrl+backspace did nothing so I thought I might as well accept the changes. Got swapped out of root - it didn't crash - and presented with password entry panel to get back to my original user session. Found scrolling problems had gone after logging out and back in. Unable to test effect on Kontact of course. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Tried switch from 1200 to 1920 - and back again - but it made no difference. An all-day test on a new 11.2 installation with no use of SAX has led me to believe that SAX may be a red herring. The scrolling problems may go from Firefox and appear in Kontact simply following a reboot. Here are some conclusions following the tests. 1. Scrolling problems affect the dragging of panels across windows as well as displays within Firefox. Dragging one caused it to be erased from its original position and then be redrawn in the new one. 2. If scrolling problems exist within Firefox, Kontact will work without almost without trouble. I've had no crashes with Kontact whilst the graphics problems were most evident. 3. If there are no scrolling problems in Firefox, Kontact will have its own scrolling problems, will crash, will crash the session or will lock up the session so that power-down is needed. As well as Kontact failing, the local Plasma wallpaper on its desktop will be gone. 4. As I had some evidence that thinking that having Plasma settings of different activities for each desktop may have been partly to blame, I altered the settings to the default. Needless to say, it made no difference. 5. Graphics problems are also evident when the logon screen first appears. For a while it looks like a new kilt pattern designed after a bad nightmare. This may or may not be related. I'm sorry that I doubt the above will be of much help to you. When I was dealing with hardware/software problems in an official capacity years ago, I hated it when it all seemed interrelated like this. I'll carry on experimenting so as to try and untangle the knots in the knitting.. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Removing the conf file removes the problem. Sorry it took me a while - I had to make another clean install as my last effort broke after running SAX2. The system would freeze during logon. One thing I noticed in the xorg.conf was the reference to fglrx. This also appeared as an error in xorg.0.log - "module doesn't exist". I've seen this mentioned in some newsgroup threads where users are having trouble with the ATI drivers. One of these was someone who'd had the same trouble with 11.1 and an installation of the new proprietary ATI driver. Could this all be related? I'll attach the newsgroup item. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Here are the results: After installation: Graphics errors including slow scrolling apparent. As would be expected, Kontact had no problems. After a reboot: Graphics errors gone, apart from: Kontact showed its own version of the scrolling errors in the message pane for mail and news where only the top and bottom 5mm scrolls. When this behaviour befalls Kontact, it does not crash or bring down the session. 2nd reboot: No change. 3rd reboot: All reverted to situation as of installation with only Kontact not having any trouble. At least this re-illustrates the random nature of the problem but nothing much else I'm afraid. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
