Re: [opensuse] OpenSuse 11.0 and KDE 4 Unstable

Hi all,
I'm in a bit of a quandry with my KDE 4 installation. I am currently
running Opensuse 11.0 and have been upgrading my KDE 4 and QT from the
following repositories for quite some time:

http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/KDE4:/UNSTABLE:/Desktop/open
SUSE_11.0/ http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Qt/openSUSE_11.0/

This all worked very well until about 2 weeks ago and I was using a very
stable 4,2 and then an initial unstable 4.3 devel which quite often black
screened. However since that initial 4.3 I have been unable to update

When I update the KDE4 I have to upgrade the QT to version 4.4.90+4.5.0.
However, with this version of QT installed I cannot run Yast software
management as it Seg faults on drawing its window. Reverting to the QT44
repository allows Yast to work again.

Something like this:
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=477599
or this:
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=477831

The error message is important to look for bug.

...
The current version that I have installed seems to have a couple of
annoying problems and hence why I want to resolve the issue:
1. Kopete yahoo seems to send blank messages but emoticons get sent.
Havent been able to debug it as my yahoo contact isnt technically minded
but im beginning to wonder if it is setting the font to white

If "yahoo contact" == "Yahoo support level 1" then don't be surprised.
The level 1 support personnel, in any company, are sometimes called script
readers.

Did you tried to set font color to anything else?

2. As mentioned earlier I quite often end up with a black screen - the
mouse cursor is still there and the desktop still functions it is just all
black. Seems to happen when I move a window and wobbly windows is on or
sometimes when I click on the suse style menu. If the effects are off it
doesnt seem to happen.

What graphic adapter you have?
Searching or comparing is possible only when this is known.

So please advise me how to resolve this little problem

Andrew
