Hi all,
I just rebuilt a machine which has been happily running SuSE 11.4 and various versions of the NVidia proprietary drivers.
Running with the version of KDE installed by default from the distro DVD (4.6.0?), I can no longer log in. The progress bar gets to about 80% and then just sits there. If I leave it long enough, the screen saver cuts in, and them when reawakened, I get a black screen with the cursor, and the cursor responds to mouse moves, but nothing else. I've tried other versions of KDE, right up to Trunk, but no change. I've also tried different versions of the NVidia driver (260, 270, 275), but none let me log in. I can log into ICEWM just fine.
The annoying thing is that the machine hardware is the same except that I added another SATA disk, and this all worked just fine before. I've done complete reformat & reinstall...no help. I've tried a fresh user in case kde config files are wrong....no change. Login does work with the Nouveau driver, but that's so unstable, it's not usable yet.
Anyone any ideas/advice?

Paul This is a bug in nvidia driver. The proprietary nvidia driver is never useable after opensue 11.4 install.
But you can manuell fix it. Use Key Shift+ALt+F12 to disable Effects when progress bar stands by 80%. Then go to Systemsettings/Effects and tab advanced. Her you must disable direct rendering and set composite-type to OpenGl. Then klick button execute. Now you can enable the effects. eRiC -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org
