[Download RAW message or body]

Package: kdesktop
Version: 2.0.1
Severity: critical
Installed from: Red Hat RPMs

I installed KDE2 (1.93) RPMs onto a default installation of RH7.  KDE2 ran fine.

I tried to upgrade to 2.0.1 with RPMs for RH7.  When I load KDE2, the startup screen \
(with KDE logo) can be seen, but then the screen goes blank.  The hard drive \
continues to run, and I hear the startup tune to KDE2, with the screen remaining \
blank.  Ctrl-Alt-Backspace does nothing.  Alt-F[1..6] does nothing.  The only way to \
return the computer to a functional status is by rebooting the computer.

I remember a similar problem when I tried to run KDE 1.1.2 on the same computer.

I tried to recompile qt-2.2.2 from source with the ./configure -no-opengl option.  \
The qt libs were placed in /usr/local/qt/lib, with the appropriate paths set.  No \
luck.  (I remember KDE 1.1.1 ran fine until I tried the OpenGL screensavers :) ).

XFree86 3.3.6 and 4.0.1, GNOME (all versions), as well as Englightenment, WindowMaker \
all run fine.  This problems seems to be specific to KDE.

I know there are known problems with Sis 6326 video cards, but is there a work around \
for this bug that I'm getting only with KDE?  I'm very keen to use this WM.

Thank you.
