What say to that with reference to what you have written above ?.
I don't know, because I haven't looked at it; and I'm not going to, because in order to do so I'd have to connect and pay the phone call. Not everybody has broadband nor cheap phone. But from the comments of other people here, I can guess what it says.
Even SuSE provided kde upgrades (not YOU updates), are somewhat experimental and supportless.
That's a pity.
It is their stated policy.
Thus, provided you are using the official, original, rpms, just tell Yast to reinstall that "xorg-x11-libs...rpm", again, regardless of it being already installed.
Would be nice if you would give me advice on how to do it. I have thought in the same direction, but doesn't know exactly how, and another case is that it will be a huge job, as I have updated all possible packages marked red or blue as shown in the article above.
Then, you need the advice of somebody that has gone the same route as you. For myself, first I would go to the same repository to check if they have a matching "xorg-x11-libs...rpm", or a list of known problems. That failing, I would undo the upgrade; I would get a list of every modified rpm and reinstall them from the dvd. For example, I'd use: rpm -q -a --queryformat "%{INSTALLTIME}\t%{INSTALLTIME:day} %{BUILDTIME:day} %-30{NAME}\t%{VERSION} %{RELEASE} %35{PACKAGER}\n" | sort | less -S which produces an rpm list ordered by install date with some data fields; the last one identifies the packager, which could help you identify them. (use "rpm --querytags | less" to get the list of available fields) Or you could use: rpm -q -a --last |less which produces roughly the same list, ordered last installed first. - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFD5l4ptTMYHG2NR9URAuyXAJ4k7+etjCMlka7y/PXR46X/KRRrxACfUUgu d3672QtJxKv1evEIgQwqBO8= =gLxM -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
