Speed: Seems to be hardware dependent. On some hardware it's faster then KDE3.
No one seems to be posting any of that tho. I have posted my setups, and stated that they were sluggish. I'm using the nVidia driver for my 6200 and the open drivers for my rage/ 128 class chips.
Out of interest which NVIDIA driver? My speed certainly improved when I moved to the 177.80 and 177.82 drivers with my GeForce 6600 GT. In fact I would say that now my system is more responsive under KDE4 than KDE3 but I don't have any hard figures on that - just my perception.
Whiz Bang: As stated before - Configure Desktop (Personal Settings) -> Desktop -> Desktop Effects Uncheck "Enable desktop effects"
Hang on. Since I don't install compiz, this should not be neccessary, correct? If so, then it's the other stuff that I see as an issue. Hopefully, someone will get KPersonalizer ported over so it's just a simple one step process. As I have time with 11.1, I will investigate how to reduce the amount of things that Iprefer to do without.
The effects in KDE4 have nothing to do with compiz. They are native to KDE4 - plugins to KWin in fact. So this does work unless you have installed compiz on top of KDE4. Not sure what effect that would have but probably not good. -- Regards Scott Newton -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
