Hello, again--
I'm new to SuSE 11.1, and a lot of things have changed since 9.3. Fr'instance, all of a sudden I have dotted lines around a lot of the things I bring up on screen, including now, and dashed lines around each incoming mail (in KMail) and dashed lines around some icons on the desktop. Why did they appear, and how can I get rid of them? They make the mail topics hard to read, for one thing. (This letter, as I write it, has dotted edges as noted above.) This did not manifest itself until I had used the program about 5 days. --doug
Doug, I don't understand what you mean by what you describe - could you send a screenshot? Is it a hardware display issue or a software issue?
Are you running KDE3 or KDE4?
Regards, Tejas
Just FYI, openSUSE 11.2 is the current release, 11.1 is now getting quite old.
Here's an example of the dashes.
It looks to me like your color depth is odd. How many colors do you have enabled? It looks like 16. And KDE is still trying to do 3D effects. If anything, I bet KDE is doing good things in an apparent lack of colors.
xdpyinfo should print something like this:

The above tabbed entries are different in my readout. Does this mean anything? most of it means nothing to me. --doug -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
