Hello, I have just installed SuSE 7.3 on a Gateway Solo 3900 for my boss. Everything is fine except KDE. X was very easy to set up, and Windowmaker, twm, fvwm2 all run perfectly, no trouble at all (I haven't tried E or Gnome,m they aren't installed for space reasons). But when I start KDE it locks the whole computer up when it gets to the "Loading Window Manager". I can't even [CTRL]+[ALT]+[BACKSPACE]. I can reboot with SysRq, however that is the only thing I can do. I can't even ssh in from another computer once it locks up. As I said, it's not X that's causing this, but rather KDE, because the other window managers cause no trouble. I did install the newest KDE base available with YOU, and that didn't help. I've never installed Linux on this particular laptop before (nor any other Gateway) so I have no idea if older versions worked or not. The chipset is: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Rage Mobility P/M AGP 2x (rev 64) If it makes any difference. running 24Bit@1024x768@70Hz. I did run Sax2 manually after the installation finished, that didn't make any difference either way. I didn't load any 3D modules of any kind. Any ideas what's causing the lock up? TIA. ---------------------------------------------------- Jonathan Wilson System Administrator Cedar Creek Software http://www.cedarcreeksoftware.com Central Texas IT http://www.centraltexasit.com
