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
There is a "minor" problem, KDE 3 depends on Qt 3 and neither is supported upstream anymore.
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!!!
Well, there are other desktop environments supported by openSUSE. GNOME LXDE Enlightenment Windowmaker Xfce To name just a few.
