Hi, I believe that I found the bug that is causing this issue. Please check the following link : http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12444 This is exactly the problem I am having and it seems that it is not related to the KDE version itself, as the this bug identifies the issue for KDE4.1.3. The cause identified is : Caused by: commit 7c1c2871a6a3a114853ec6836e9035ac1c0c7f7a Author: Dave Airlie Date: Fri Nov 28 14:22:24 2008 +1000 drm: move to kref per-master structures. Signed-off-by: Dave Airlie I assume this will be fixed soon in a newer version of the kernel or maybe SuSE can create a patch for this one ?

Hi Joerg, The links to the bugrequests are : https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=478495 and https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=185127 I have now tried the workaround on my system with the KDE4.2factory and the KDE4:Unstable repositories. I have gained a stable situation without loosing too much Composite effects. My work-around are : 1) add the following to the ServerLayout section of your /etc/X11/xorg.conf: Option "BackingStore" "False" 2) Disable the effect "Present Windows" and also Disable the "Improved Windows Management" in the Systemsettings-> Desktop.

[opensuse-factory] Serious KDE issues with latest factory
by Raymond Wooninck 24 Feb '09

24 Feb '09

Hi, Based on what Robert Kaiser reported yesterday already, there seems to be quite some issues with KDE 4 in the latest Factory build. I have updated yesterday to the latest factory build and now I have the fact that my screen turns black randomly when I startup some applications (or when some windows appear). There seems to be no pattern in this, as sometime I can easily start firefox and then the next time it makes my screen turn black. Killing kwin from a console session and then restarting it again solves the problem for a while. I used to have KDE4:Unstable, but I have already downgraded to the KDE4.2 inside factory. I also tried it with a new user on my system (empty $HOME, .kde4, .qt, etc), but also here I see the same effect. I also already tried to update the QT45_Factory build, but this does not seem to help.

[opensuse-factory] Questions about crda,iw and wireless-regdb packages
by Markus Koßmann 24 Feb '09

24 Feb '09

When/where the regulatory domain is intended to be setup ? If I set up it manually with "iw reg set" this setting is lost after a reboot. So it seems that a startup script needs to set the regulatory domain after every reboot, if you want full WLAN function after a reboot. Why is the regulatory.bin file installed in /usr/lib and iw in/usr/sbin, whereas the other parts of the framework are living in / ? If you want to mount /usr over a WLAN connection, this will restrict you to use channels 1-11 for that WLAN . -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Re: [opensuse-factory] X.Org issue with l atest kernel 2.6.29‏
by Raymond Wooninck 23 Feb '09

Robert, For me the issue is different to yours. Like you I am also using the KDE4:UNSTABLE, but I have seen this problem already some time ago when the 2.6.29 version got in the KOTD location. Kernel 2.6.28 worked fine, but the issue started already once the 2.6.29-rc3 became available. I can start whatever program without any problems and I have been working the whole day without any issue. Unfortunately at a certain moment I had to switch to the console to perform some tasks and once switching back I noticed that the whole desktop is hanging. I can move the mouse, but that is it. So I can not move back to a console to kill kwin and then to try again. However I just tried something else. I switched off the Desktop Effects in KDE4 and rebooted the PC with the 2.6.29 kernel. With these settings I can now change to a console session and back again, without any issues. What I notice however is that when I switch back with Ctrl-Alt-F7, I shortly see the graphical screen with the top covered in black (about half a second), then the monitor switches to powersave mode and half a second later the correct graphical screen is displayed again. So somehow the Xserver is doing something here what causes the hang-up if the desktop effects are enabled. Maybe it is the composite mode that is either enabled or not ??

[opensuse-factory] X.Org issue with latest kernel 2.6.29‏
by Raymond Wooninck 23 Feb '09

23 Feb '09

Hi, After update to the latest factory I received also the latest kernel 2.6.29. However I am now currently experience issues with Xserver. If I switch to a console session (Ctrl-Alt-F1) and then back to the Xsession (Ctrl-Alt-F7), I see a black block at the top of the screen (full width) and everything seems frozen. I can move the mouse, but cannot click on anything. I have a similar effect when I resume the notebook from Sleep. I already tried the kernel 2.6.29 before (starting from RC3 in the KERNEL:HEAD repository) and I had the same errors. I already created bug #478296, but I was wondering if I am the only one who is experiencing this issue ?

[opensuse-factory] Bugzilla attachments
by Felix Möller 22 Feb '09

22 Feb '09

Hi, writing here as factory users a probably bugzilla users in addition: Since a few weeks bugzilla does not display any attachments "inline" anymore. It tells me: "The attachment is not viewable in your browser due to security restrictions enabled by Bugzilla. In order to view the attachment, you first have to download it." Is there any way to disable this? I find this really annoying. regards Felix Möller -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org
