A couple of weeks ago (I think) I posted a message stating that vlc will not even start under openSUSE 11.4.
I just re-installed 11.4, as a totally new installation, and did all the necessary updates to all files. Still no vlc. xine works fine but not vlc.

I don't remember thanking Mark for his suggestion which I now do: Thank you Mark for the 'fix', greatly appreciated.
You are welcome, though to be honest I've just found it on the net, so passing thanks to google :-)
But before I remembered Mark's suggestion, I went looking for an answer and found that there is a bug in KDE4.6.0 and which, as implied, has been fixed in KDE 4.6.1. Which is quite nice to know....if you only one knew how to upgrade your current KDE 4.6.0 to 4.6.1 (let alone to 4.6.2!) to get rid of just one (presumably) small bug to make vlc work.
... Will Stephenson referred us to the bug https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=648718 and advised to update nvidia driver. I've laready had the latest stable version 260.19.44 when I saw vlc crash. One of the latest comments on this bug says it disappeared after upgrading to beta version 270.41.03. I'll probably wait a bit until 270 will become stable. Also, I've KDE3 installed on that 11.4 in parallel to KDE4 and I see the same vlc crash with FPE on it (well, I still have KDM from KDE4 as display manager).
