Not to fan an old flame I found an interesting problem I installed as KDE3 alone. Was able to select and manipulate screensavers. Then I installed KDE4 alongside KDE3 to see what I thought of KDE4. For grins, I committed heresy... I booted a live kubuntu to assure the hardware was working and was able to pair perfectly. I don't think this is an upstream problem, unless opensuse used bleeding edge stuff to release. Anyway, any thoughts on how to resolve this?
I found KDE3 on 11.1 to be less stable than 11.0, so I reverted back to 11.0 and recommend 11.0 for KDE3. However, that's been my experience. Others seem to have no problems with 11.1/KDE3.
I'm still reserving judgement on KDE4. I haven't had time to play with any of the milstones, except on a friend's laptop. KDE4 seemed to be more stable and usable. I think he had Milestone 3 installed.
Personally, once I get an install the way I want it, I'm usually not in a hurry to upgrade. I used 9.2 on a machine till 10.2 came out, and then dual booted it(in back, I believe it's still sitting that way - will need to fire it up. took it out of use about 2 years ago).
That's just me. If you need a newer kernel for hardware, then 11.1 may be better. All my hardware works fine with 11.0, so I'll stick with it and see what 11.2 has to offer.
I'm running kde3 and kde4.3 on factory and I very rarely visit kde3 anymore except if a problem springs up. I actually miss kde4 when it's broken. Regards Dave P -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
