Hi

Several problems I'm having with SuSE 9.1 that really annoys the hell out of me ;)

Note: I have applied all updates that were made available via YOU.

#1 Evolution is dog slow when running from KDE ============================================== I've already mentioned that on this list but it seems I'm the only one... My box is a dual P3 (733 Mhz). Evolution has never been that slow with any Linux installation I've made on this box.

frederic@wallaby:~> uname -a Linux wallaby 2.6.4-54.5-smp #1 SMP Fri May 7 21:30:47 UTC 2004 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

#2 Font problems ================ Setting in KDE: General Bitstream Vera Sans 9 Fixed width Bitstream Vera Sans Mono 9 Toolbar Bitstream Vera Sans 9 Menu Bitstream Vera Sans 9 Window Title Bitstream Vera Sans 9 Taskbar Bitstream Vera Sans 6 Desktop augie 11

In the Fonts (Control Center), Bitstream Vera Sans 6 for the taskbar looks absolutly tiny yet in the taskbar in the kicker panel they look like a font size 8. The font in the K Menu looks like a size 12 when it should be a size 9 according to the control center. The Augie font on the desktop looks like a size 13 instead of 11

#3 Screensaver settings ======================= Changing the screen saver (and applying) has no effect unless I log out of KDE and back again...

For crying out loud, looking at evolution redrawing everything in slow motion is just unbearable?!?!!?

My overall impression (I'm not saying it is the same for everybody) is that SuSE 9,1 in general is slower that my Mandrake 9.2 with kernel 2.4.x...

Now don't get me wrong I like what I've seen and YAST is a formidable tool but I was expecting a better QA from SuSE...

Interesting... I've got the exact polar opposite - SuSE Linux has never been so snappy and responsive as it is with 9.1. My main install is on a Centrino based laptop, and installed on a Celeron 500 based laptop yesterday, and it was zippy there too.

Could it be the SMP kernel? Maybe... /Frederic

I have kernel-smp running on a dual Athlon and I have to agree with Clayton. I'm not seeing the 'dog slow' evolution at all, I find everything very responsive. Then again, I have an XFS partition that didn't crash the kernel, so maybe I'm just extremely lucky :)

Thats because it doesn't want to mess with you Anders :). Matt
