All of this works correctly under 9.0. Too may scripts ruling every process running. I may need to look into Slackware.
I've seen this a few times lately, and I just want to know: why announce it? Why not try slackware (or Debian, or gentoo, or...) and let us know if it works more to your expectations? That way you would be able to say "this is the way it works in $DISTRO, and it's soooo much simpler than in SuSE, why not do it this way?" I'll make a small prediction: when you've tried it, I think you'll find the difference not so great. There are no super secret, double-binary-only things working behind the scenes to ruin your life. Yes, SuSE uses resmgr, which isn't in all linux distributions, and can confuse at times. But mostly, SuSE is about default settings, about SuSEconfig/YaST helping you configure things. The programs themselves are, mostly, the same you'll find elsewhere. If you have problems with permissions in SuSE, odds are you'd have the same problems in other distributions that do even less to help you set up a working environment In 9.2 there has been a few problems with ownership of devices, notably a few have complained about the sound. Am I right in thinking the people who have trouble with this are logging in to text mode and using 'startx' to go to X? Is there anyone who logs in with kdm who has that problem?
