i hope,openSuSE 11.2 will support any SiS vga. Because I’m using that chipset. For now, it work with VESA mode. But, I’m not comfortable with that

+1 vote for keeping KDE3 (w/o support, I don’t mind).

The reason is simply this that I use some KDE4 apps already but not all simply because I cannot replace them — KDE3 counterparts are much more mature:
* kpdf rendering quality is superior comparing to okular
* kchmviewer handles .chm files correctly, okular does not
* kate/KDE4 does not sort lines
* KMail/KDE4 cannot put custom templates on toolbar
* Plasma/KDE4 does not have hide-on-demand panels
* gwenview/KDE4 does not have folders/files pane (the report is marked as fixed now, so I hope it will be in KDE4.3)

and so on. There are more on KDE bugzilla. I would be happy to dive into KDE4 but I rely on numerous features that are present in KDE3 and are not present in KDE4. So for now I use only Dolphin, Krusader, KNode from KDE4.

Any word on cpu speed support in Xen kernel? It’s the one thing missing. I’ve considered switching to Centos for my home Xen server which runs a dozen VMs and for the secondary Xen server I’d build. I prefer performance of Opensuse but power saving is very important!

Install true image (dutch x64 kde on vmware) did not work, error on packages, trying it 3 times.
With image option out all went fine.
Looks good.

There is a problem with connection a larger display (Samsung 2223NW, 1650*1080) to a 15-inch (1280*800) Acer 3690 notebook (i945).
11.1 detects the right resolution of connected Samsung 2223NW, but nothing except a thin blinking horizontal line is displayed.
To use full resolution have to use the pre-installed Windows XP, which uses the full resolution of the external display without
any tuning. (Thus, hardware is Ok).

I also think that automated installation should be disabled as the default. Automated Installation cannot recover from just about any errors so either make the automated installation revert to non-automated Installation or set the default as Non-Automated. We lost a huge number of users when we released 11.0 as it failed to complete for many reasons, and left the user with a blank console screen with the prompt…Have Lots of Fun!

I third this Idea!

Another Radical Idea would be to fix all the bugs outstanding in 11.0-11.1 and this would be the 11.2 release

I brought down the DVD version on May 4th. It did not have KDE 4.3. IF I download it again will I get 4.3 or still get 4.2.2?? And by the way, I am running it inside VMware, i586 version, and it is really to slow. I’m hoping that KDE 4.3 OR other improvements in SuSE itself will make it faster. I have a 3.2Ghz Dual Core, 4GB of RAM and a 7200rpm HD so I don’t believe the slowness is caused by my hardware. My VMware is running inside SuSE 11.1.
Thanks
