Is it possible you have some buggy hardware? Gustav.
I think not.
It doesn't have to be buggy in the sense of flawed. The wrong graphics driver or a poorly configured driver, the wrong version of OpenGL, QTGraphics running in the wrong mode for that hardware configuration, the wrong compositing engine for that driver/hardwaer configuration, could all account for what you describe. Yes it should all be set up intelligently, but very often that is a result of familiarity and knowing which defaults to take and not take and which things not to install. The oft repeated point about not using BOTH Videolan and Packman and not installing them to start with is one such. While I do have a stable system it is the result of some compromises. If I install the Nvidia driver and use Thunderbird or Firefox under KDE then I can' drag-n-drop messages or tabs without causing a crash and ending back at the login prompt. Using 'nv' or 'nouveau' are fine. Then again, some splash screens from KDE-Look.org don't work in various 'interesting' ways, though I've not had what you seem to be describing. There are a number of KDE "skins" that are 'active' as well. Compared to LXDE KDE requires a lot of setup. What you haven't told us is whether or not your installation works at the command line level, whether it works with any other DM. -- The problem with comforting illusions is that someone else ends up footing the bill for your comfort. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
