I had quite some fun after the M4 update; KDM login screen was good but once in the desktop everything was upside down and all text was garbled, looked a lot like maybe koi8-r as a loose description. I first renamed .kde4 to .kde4-backup and logged out/in and got default desktop without the problem. I deleted .kwinrc and rebooted and the desktop came back with desktop effects turned off. Turning them back on and a fiddle or two in settings and the upside down screen happened again. I tried installing 2 newer versions of Nvidia drivers (.run files from web site download) afterwards and that didn't fix anything. For whatever reason when I reinstalled 260.19.44 back and rebooted desktop effects came back and now everything is good again. Somehow, it was deleting .kwinrc and a reinstall of the 'good' drivers that fixed everything.
i've seen this every time X11 or mesa received an update, until i re-compiled my nvidia drivers (280.13). after that recompile everything was fine. but i'm using X11 from http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/XOrg/openSUSE_11.4 -- phani. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org
