Nvidia is not the end, it's the means. The end is having a reliable SuSE desktop. If you have problems with NVIDIA propietary drivers, please complain to NVIDIA, we cannot fix them, Im sorry. Hi Christian,
Please understand, I'm not picking on SuSE here. I'm not giving up, but just waiting for 11.2.
But look at it from my perspective: 11.0 works, 11.1 doesn't. I don't care if it's Novell or Nvidia: it doesn't work. So I'm going to take the path of least resistance and retreat to what's working. This will also giv KDE 4 some time to mature. I'm not convinced that all of your problems are nVidia, as there are the same problems I see with different make video chipsets, thus not all is well with "X"....GL screen savers come to mind.
I found that when I bumped my nVidia binary drivers up to 180.x things improved in a BIG way with KDE4.. that and making sure I was using 4.2.2. (latest as of this email). GL screen savers are fine... full screen, not stuck up in the top left corner.... KDE desktop performance is fine... ie, I don't notice any slowdowns or performance issues at all anymore.
I pull my nVivia drivers from here: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=122606 and am currently using 180.44. I don't know what's available in the openSUSE repos, but if you have a nVidia card, and you're not on at least 180, you will have major issues with KDE4.
Well, I compiled the "latest and greatest" and the results are the same. :( Fred -- The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money. - Margaret Thatcher -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
