Before you give up on progress, I would try to localise the problem with 11.4. Use a Live CD if you don't have an install atm.
Google says the graphics hardware on the R31 is an intel i830, which probably doesn't support any advanced graphics.
Check:
* Is the lockup/display fade issue specific to KDE? Try choosing IceWM from the login screen instead
I see this works from an earlier mail from you, which is a good start. Try disabling compositing as below and also nomodeset.
* If so, perhaps the video driver is advertising capabilities it doesn't have. Try disabling desktop effects manually: ** Boot to runlevel 3 (add '3' to the kernel params in the bootloader) ** Login as user ** Run "kwriteconfig --file kwinrc --group Compositing --key Enabled false" ** (this edits kwinrc for you) ** Switch to runlevel 5 (init 5) and login * If not specific to KDE, perhaps your hardware does not support modesetting - boot with kernel param 'nomodeset'
