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.
Different problem. It doesn't pixelate. It goes black and then returns to normal.
Not to hijack the thread but I am currently running 11.2-32bit with a dual monitor on a Radeon x1650 card, one off the VGA-0 , I have the same kernel (2.6.37.41) from the kernel head repo, and xorg 7.6-4. from the X11 repo, using radeon driver and my machine works just fine. But if I run the 11.4 live cd and configure my video the same with xrandr, I get the VGA-0 screen blanking every minute or so. So I hope this helps them find the problem because it doesn't seem to be in the kernel or the X11 but somewhere in between. I wish they would get this hashed out quickly. I would like to go to a dual screen at home and upgrade to 11.4 but it looks like I am going to have to wait. -- In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice; In practice, there is Robert Cunningham Sr. Physics Laboratory Coordinator /RSO -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
