(Just for the record, the version I have installed - and before the
latest upgrades it was working fine - is the 32-bit version and I was
using KDE4 to see what it looked liked.)

This is probably the acpi problem, requiring acpi=off to be enter as a
boot option in the grub screen.

But why would that all of a sudden be needed on machines which ran
fine with acpi in 10.3?

And Why would the initial install be fine, but subsequent upgrades by zypper
cause acpi to suddenly fail?

And how is turning off acpi ever a good Idea when most modern hardware
(especially laptops) absolutely rely on acpi to provide access to all hardware?
