After all the problems with 11.4 and 11.3 on my ThinkPad, I've decided to blow it all away and revert to 11.0. At least that worked well.
Problems:
11.4 - unable to use KDE, as system locked up and display faded 11.3, unreliable USB detection. Why no "Safely remove" option? Display often shifted about 1/2" to right, but mouse didn't. Poorer performance. General frustration with KDE 4.
As I've often pointed out, since I first saw KDE 4, a few years ago, it needs a lot of work to be anywhere near as useful as 3.5 It would be *VERY* nice if support were resumed for 11.0, which would appear to be the last decent openSUSE distro. My experiences with KDE 4 are almost enough to send me back to Windows! What a piece of crap!!!
James, There is a KDE 3.5 repo for 11.1/11.2/11.3 in OBS. 11.1 shipped with full KDE3.5 support, but I think OBS has a more recent version for it. 11.1 is under "Evergreen" support. 11.2 is scheduled to lose support in a couple months. So based on just what you say above, 11.1 or 11.3 seem like they would be reasonable choices to consider in addition to 11.0 (which lost support in Sept. I think.)
