I've just installed 11.4 on an old Compaq computer. One problem that was immediately obvious is the monitor goes black every several seconds. Also, where the heck are the video settings? I can't seem to find them anywhere! This computer previously ran 11.3 without issue.
Forgot to mention, that computer has a Nvidea Vanta /Vanta LT.
just want to add in that I am having the same issue after replacing 11.1 with 11.4 on a pentium4 system with an nvidia 6200 graphics card.
I've traditionally stuck to only MGA, Intel & ATI in my test and production systems. Consequently, I pay little attention to NVidia threads, but do remember recently noticing one somewhere (here? xorg? opensuse-xorg? fedora-test? cooker?) describing what Mark & James are seeing. A few days due to https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?GoAheadAndLogIn=1&id=675793 I decided that I need a test box with nvidia too. The first thing I noticed after starting KDE in 11.4 with a TNT2 and nv driver was flashing/blinking/blanking for no apparent reason. I subsequently changed that box to a GeForce2 MX400, after which I've not seen it. I searched kernel & freedesktop Bugzillas quickly without finding anything filed in last 5 months about blinking, blanking or flashing on subject, so maybe it's openSUSE only. -- "How much better to get wisdom than gold, to choose understanding rather than silver."
