xorg 7 and kde 3.4.5
On an OpenSUSE 10.1 system, I have installed the current KDE 3.5.4 from opensuse, as well as Xorg 6.9. I want to upgrade X to Xorg 7.1. However, smart wants to remove all kde 3.4.5, which seems to be a generally bad idea... I see that others have upgraded to Xorg 7.1, but I see no discussion of the KDE issue. Anyone else done this upgrade? -- Roger Oberholtzer

I've been using latest KDE (3.5.4) and latest X.Org for a while now and I haven't seen any problems so far. Try adding this repository to get the new X.Org 7.1: http://software.opensuse.org/download/xorg7/Java_Sun-Java-1.5_SUSE_Linux_10.... --

How did you update them? I am using smart. I can add this repo, but I am unsure how that will resolve the kdebase3 in 3.5.4 from wanting Xorg 6.9. Perhaps the real requirement is Xorg >= 6.9, and smart gets this wrong? -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems AB Ramböll Sverige AB Kapellgränd 7 P.O.

I used YaST to do the job, however I did somethings manually: Once the repo was added I opened YaST package manager, clicked in the "update if newer version is available" and deleted the old X.Org 6.9packages that where there since there were not needed anymore, and selected to install the new versions of X.Org 7.1 (remember that X.Org >= 7.0 is splitted in several packages) that where not selected automatically (wich were quite some), among the new versions you will find: Mesa, libdrm, sax2, xterm, and a bunch of xorg-x11-something packages Once all the rignt packages are selected and installed, reboot your computer and run sax2 to generate a new xorg.conf file with the new paths, restart the graphics system and you are ready to go. Maybe smart will be able to figure out the dependencies for itself once the X.Org is updated and the old packages selected for removal, but I don't use smart, so I don't know what may or may not happen... Anyway thats what I did, hope it helps. --
