I don't speak for SGI in this forum.

Well I don't use kde, or at least haven't for a while:

At any rate,  I followed the various direction for disabling compiz and
xgl.  Removed the rpms.  Completely re-did my xorg.conf.  Its somewhat
messy as I use twinview.  Then I did the one-click install again.  I had
to run the command to reactivate xgl again and now its working...

Go figure.
