No idea. If jou need your computer to work, use 11.1. Using 11.2 for a machine you _must_ use is asking for problems.
No, the 11.2 "machine" (actually 2 HDs sitting in cradles and interchangable with my 'main' system) is only intended to be used for testing.
OK.
If there is some reason that you want to test 11.2 now and be able to also test its video capabilities, so that in mid november you are sure to install 11.2, then best compile everything yourself concerning the video parts.
But isn't 11.2 due out around that time? So doing any testing with missing features is not really "testing".
Indeed. If Packman is what you want to test as well, you must wait till they see fit to make it available and test then.
I spent hours today downloading the missing dependencies for compiling the source (using rpmbuild) for use with kaffeine and xine -- and after much farting around by the rpmbuild it came up with the message that it exited with an Error 1. So, all the time and effort was a total waste of time and effort.
It is indeed a pain to compile. I never had it working either. That is why I apreciate Packman so much for doing it for me. It is a pity that you see it as a waste of time, jusy because the result was not as you expected. I would call it a lesson learned, whatever you take away from it. You could go to the list where they discuss compiling with rpmbuild (not sure which one that is) and see if they can help you out there. houghi -- Come to think of it, there are already a million monkeys on a million typewriters, and Usenet is NOTHING like Shakespeare. -- Blair Houghton -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
