I've had openSuse 11.2 with KDE4 on my Lenovo T-61 laptop for about two weeks now. Much of 11.2 works without a hitch - my video card is fine, sound is OK and DVDs play fine.
There are, however problems.
1. Periodically, usually several times a day, my display dims, and the only way I can find to reset it is to shutdown, reboot, go into bios and reset everything to default.
2. Kontact is behaving very flakily. If you shut it off, it won't start unless you log out and then back in.
All in all I like 11.2 and KDE4, but I don't have time to deal with it's flakiness.
I suppose the easiest fix is to go back to 11.1 and use KDE3, but I'd like to understand if the problems I'm experiencing are due to 11.2 or to KDE4. Does someone have suggestions on how to isolate what is causing this?
In addition, someone at KDE removed the shredder function from KGPG, but didn't bother to find a replacement. Can anyone suggest a gui replacement?

You don't say what version of KDE4 your using. I have 11.2 with KDE4.3.4 on a desktop since last Friday and I am not experiencing any problems yet. I use Kontact with Kmail, Knode, Contacts etc.
Well, I'm using 4.3.1, of course, since that is what came with OpenSuse 11.2.
Can I just install the repository you suggest and update?
We're actually preparing an online update to 4.3.4, so you'd get it without adding the KDE:43 repo. I'm writing a mail to opensuse-announce with the details and reasons now.
