openSUSE 11 - Desktop Emphasis
I had said earlier that I was really going to put this one to the blade. Why? Because openSUSE 10.3 happens to be my favourite distro so far, and I was under the hope that this would be a good if not better. And I would test this with KDE 4, because that is the only real reason I would shift to 11.0 from 10.3.
Problems, to begin with…
Yes, I had problems to begin with. During the loading screen, the screen would go black and stop. The End.
I had to then go into Failsafe mode, configure my network (which had not been done during install), and install ATI drivers. The configuration turned out to be easy and effective - the Network Manager worked smoothly for me. The installation of the drivers also went well. What did not go so well was that the One-Click Install I had earlier tried to use from the openSUSE ATI Wiki installed the debug drivers for me along with the debug kernel! It was a manual install, then, by using the package manager to download the fglrx drivers. Finally, the use of sudo aticonfig –initial sealed the the new drivers.
