Nope. Still haven't gotten used ot it. Too much going on.
Not really. To me kde4 is looking just like kde3 did - the only think missing is the ability to have different wallpapers on each separate desktop. I know that this can be done thru Activities, but this is not for me and I am happy with what I see.
The only thing is *not* to Enable all the desktop effects and save lots of cpu cycles in not running all the eye-candy.
Yeah, I requested that KPersonalizer get ported to make that easy, but didn't happen yet.
Oh, is there some sort of Personalizer which may need tweeking? I just did not tick the Enable box in Desktop settings.
Also, download and compile the nVidia driver from nVidia. Makes a BIG difference. The "default" excuse for an nvidia driver installed by 11.2 only gave me ~136fps (using glxgears), the compiled driver (190.42) gives me ~3660fps.
I haven't installed the nVidia driver on his machine yet. Was hoping that the repo would be up but haven't seen it yet(haven't looked today tho).
Now, am I mistaken and did not understand what I think I may have read, but I thought that nVidia driver is no longer available as part of zypper or YaST because nvidia decided that it is a proprietary driver and will not make it available except thru their own site?
