i did an update to 11.4 [from 11.2] and got some strange trouble.
the default kernel did not generate a useable system, since i had no keybord etc. (under investigation)
the desktop failsafe worked. I got the desktop version working with acpi=on since the i915.ko did not load without (bug ?).
Now i am stuck with KDE. It is to smart for its own good. It tries to change the GFX config and gets it wrong. Changing the WM "solves" the problem but that is not what i want.
Anyone an idea where to find the kde config data that sets the display ?
KDE isn't designed for configuring X, only limited tweaking. You could try YaST2 in one of the other WMs, or just boot the default kernel to runlevel 3, login as root, 'cd /etc/X11', 'mv xorg.conf xorg.conf-112', 'init 5', and see if auto config X gets you what you need.
The problem with the "default" OS11.4 is more general. I have no clue what it may be but the kdb (USB) is not functioning, gfx is not fount etc. I suspect it may be a problem with the modules setup, as i see much less modules in the /lib/modules/"default" tree than in the desktop tree.
Keyboard and mouse drivers in 11.4 are different from those in 11.2, and your xorg.conf is probably setting use of uninstalled drivers. I don't know why other WMs might still work.
When i go to runlevel 5 the display manager works fine, starting a kde session causes ghost mirror images, making the system unusabele, stopping kde resets the Gfx into a usable state. Replacing KDE with fvwm2 .. everything is fine. There are no special setups for KDE of what so ever involved. even removing .kde* does not help.
Which Intel gfx chip do you have (clue: lspci)?
i915, driver is found but requieres acpi to work (took me by surprise) I am totaly stuck where KDE stores that type of configs. re, wh -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-xorg+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-xorg+help@opensuse.org
