Hi openSUSE community,
I have a strange problem with X under openSUSE 11.2. After starting KDE 4.x
or Gnome, the Xorg system freezes after 5-15 minutes. If that occurs I can
still move the mouse, but any click or keyboard event is not recognized any
more. Can't switch to console. But the system itself works, since I can
login by ssh. All running (server) applications like Apache and MySQL still
work. In order to use X again, I have to reboot (init 6 does not work, I
have to type "reboot " twice). init 3 and init 5 does not work after logging
in by ssh, killing X process does also not fix it. I really have to reboot.
I have an Intel 855GM Integrated Graphics Device on board. I have already
checked the RAM with memtest, everything okay. There are no error messages
in syslog. I have tried disabling DRI, but no effect. Disabling Video cache
in BIOS or reducing the video buffer size did also not help.
Without logging in to KDE or Gnome the system runs stable for weeks, so I am
pretty sure that Xorg is the problem. I guess that these problems are caused
by the Intel graphics driver. I can remember that I had similar problems 1-2
years ago (freezes only with KDE 3 and 4, not Gnome). I am pretty sure, that
the first problems started after switching to the Intel driver (from the old
810 driver), but in openSUSE 11.1 it was running fine. Now in openSUSE 11.2
the X system freezes after some minutes working.

Hi all,
recently, the company got me a new machine with a 6-core AMD Phenom II,
it has the AMD 890 GX chipset which includes Radeon HD 4290 graphics.
My operating system is Debian stable (5.0, "lenny"),
it reports the "xorg" package to be version 1:7.3+20 which includes
"vesa" (1:1.3.0-4) and "radeon" 1:6.9.0-1+lenny4.
It seems this "radeon" version does not support the graphics chip, and
neither does "radeonhd" - my only chance till now was "vesa".
I don't care about lack of acceleration (my use is software development
and the usual office stuff), but I need rotation - which "vesa" doesn't
support.
I tried ATI's proprietary "Catalyst" drivers, all three versions 10.4,
10.5, and 10.6:
As soon as I installed one, I got trouble in "bash" - file name
completion by tab was affected (needed one extra "tab" hit), and prompts
after command execution were displayed only if after I used the keyboard.
I took this to mean there are severe incompatibilities and fell back on
the vesa driver.
To get rotation working, I installed a Matrox Millennium 200 SD using
the "mga" driver, and this works fine.
But as the Matrox doesn't have a DVI output, whereas my rotated monitor
has such an input, I would really prefer to use the on-board graphics.
Are there any recommendations what I might try?
The machine is set up for dual boot, so I can keep one root partition
stable and try different drivers and setups in the other one.
Regards and TIA,
Jörg

According to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution if I was
using *buntu they could go in ~/.xprofile or /etc/kde4/kdm/Xsetup.
M7 has no latter, and apparently doesn't bother with any existing
~/.xprofile, which I linked to a script that works when run from
Konsole.
According to
http://forums.opensuse.org/get-help-here/laptop/417815-run-xrandr-automatic…
such commands belong in /etc/init.d/boot.local. That makes no sense
to me, but I tried it anyway. That too fails.
This script does what it needs to do:

xrandr --addmode VGA1 2048x1536-60
xrandr --dpi 120
xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1600x1200-60
However, it needs to be run before KDM or the desktop populate, so
that everything on the desktop initializes at the correct resolution
and DPI, just like used to happen automatically in 11.0.
Alternatively, how does one get PreferredMode, NoDDC, etc. in xorg.conf
to do what they used to do? On my i845G, an xorg.conf file that worked
to get up to 2048x1536 only last fall no longer works, sticking me in
the awful lowfi mode 1024x768.

As i noticed in last thread[0] (sorry about double posts, it was an
accident of pressing 'Enter' button on no purpose), I would not choose
recordmydesktop to capture KDE desktop because the video result is
bad[1] when capturing the desktop if KWin Compositing is enabled. The
video will be good enough if this feature is disabled[2].
I'm using KDE SC 4.5 Beta2 on openSUSE 11.2 (fglrx), I also test it on
openSUSE 11.3 M#7 with radeonhd driver but the result is not better
than the previous one (11.2).
Is it about my poor video adapter[3] or the driver[4] itself?
Thanks in advance.
