ok, been playing w. 11.4, but i have installed kde-3:) .(just some personal issues with widgets and plasmoids, please don't attack:)) the only problem so far is virtual box, it fails to start. rerunning setup does reconfigure it, still it fails to open an x window. any pointers? ... having kde4 fully installed might be the difference. my system has *no* kde4 at all. i started with xfce, then added the kde3 repo. and i have taboo-ed out libstrigi and kdm, basically killing any attempt to "upgrade" the system to kde4.

the two vbox versions i tried are the 4.0 from suse, then 4.1 from oracle.

i did try the console start, that's how i did the /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup and the system was recompiled. and that's where i saw the error that vbox can not open an x  window.

So you ran vboxdrv setup as root and it compiled successfully. Then you tried virtual box from terminal window as normal user? On my box it starts correctly. Is your user a member of vboxusers group? Hard to believe virtualbox has dependencies on kde4. I ran the same virtualbox version on 11.1 with kde3 (though in 11.1 some kde4 libraries were also installed). Should be something different.
