When you say you had an "immediate crash" are you meaning that your display freezes and that you have no fuctionality in either the keyboard or mouse. If this is the case does your mouse cursor remain on screen where you tried to max the window or does it jump to the top right hand corner of the screen?
Charles (-:
Yes. Display freezes. No kb. No mouse. Cursor remains at the last place I used it.
Jack I was beginning to suspect that this might be the case. There is nothing wrong with your mouse or your switch. What you do have is a problem in your either your X configuration or in KDE. There are a whole host of question that go to resolving this. Is there any other device on your system that is trying to share an IRQ with your video card? What is your vid card and how did you configure it in SuSe? At what rez and refresh are you running? Are you running a stock KDE or have you upgraded to KDE 2.0? Are you running X 3.3.6 or X 4.0? Is your BIOS set to non PnP OS? Any of the above, except for the BIOS, which you have set-up Exactly the same in RH can be discounted as a cause since you stated that you do not experience this problem in RH.
