If I clicked the window, it flashed rapidly for a second before turning off. There also was no title bar on the window. This happened with every program and applets on the panel. The Computer menu was down. I figured out how to start Run by hitting Alt+F2, then typed in gnome-control-center. I clicked on the title bar (or where it should have been), put my finger over Desktop effects, then clicked in that area of the screen. I did the same to uncheck Desktop Effects. It stopped flashing immediately, and I logged in and out and fixed it. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Upgrade from 11.3 2.Log in 3.Try to open a window or look at the blank panel Actual Results: Graphics issues It happened in KDE also. My hardware was on a Dell B110, and my video card was part of the Intel 865G chipset. -- 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.

Had to disable desktop effects in KDE when I installed 11.4 Also had to change the desktop theme to Aya to be able to read anything (task manager changed colour to black, with black text). If you need more info (specific type of graphics card, etc) let me know. I'll try and answer you as soon as I get the chance. -- 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.

I've got an 865g too. Two way to solve for me: use 'nomodeset' but without to use any desktop effects or force X to use intel legacy driver. With the last option I can use even the desktop effects. I think it's a driver problem however. -- 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.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=673873 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=673873#c8 --- Comment #8 from Stephan van den Akker 2011-09-11 11:09:59 UTC --- The problem is still present in openSUSE 12.1 milestone 5. There is a sleight improvement over openSUSE 11.4: the main windows of applications now appear more or less usable after startup. But a lot of problems remain with the Ditesktop Effects turned on. Pop up messages make a mess of the screen. I.e. the " Dialog Parent" desktop effect should darken the parent window, but this only works for small parts of the parent window after hovering over them with the mouse pointer. Switching of Desktop Effects solves all these problems. I could not test with the "nomodeset" startup parameter, as the keyboard setup seems completely broken on 12.1. Should I file a separate bug report for that, or is it a known problem. -- 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.

I wonder if this is the same issue as https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=679210

No, the hardware is is different.
