I've installed 11.4 on two systems and so far I'm batting 0 for 2. My first install was on an old Compaq. On that one, the display goes to black every several seconds. The other computer was an IBM ThinkPad R31. On that one, shortly after logging in with KDE, the computer locks up and the screen fades to a yellow green. However, I can log into the failsafe desktop or IceWM. With both computers, I am able to use XDMCP to connect from another computer. Both computers work with 11.0 and 11.3. This is the first time, in all the years I've been using Linux, that I've experienced show stopper failures in a distro and I managed to have it happen with both attempts. 11.4 has some serious problems that were not in 11.3.

Do these old computers have onboard Intel graphic cards? Try disabling the KDE desktop effects. I just installed 11.4 on a laptop that was running 11.3 with desktop effects just fine. With 11.4 the effects are being disabled automatically because the system thinks they are slow. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
