hi
i have installed kde 2.2 beta 1, its rock solid on my other mandrake 8.0, i have no
problems at all, sound is really working well, and noatun and arts seem to work pertty
well, except for the bloat for ths beta release for kdebase to squash all the buggies
thats why kdebase almost 39 mb, i would recommend that we try kde 2.2 beta 1 and
report all the problems throught http://bugs.kde.org or the bug reporter from each of
the application would be of great help :-)
i have installed it about 2-3 times on different machines not a single problem other
than the slow startup after login, hope that is fixed by the linker stuff :-) for the
final release and kde base will be smaller than 39 mb for the final release
check your .kde/share/apps/kcontrol check your mouse and antialiasing settings there
i guess super mount doesnt work :-( even thought supermount is enabled in kde 2.2 beta
1, worked well with kde 2.2 alpha2, i had tried copying some files to /mnt/floppy and
found that it didnt copy to the floppy instead it copied to /mnt/floppy directory :-(,
i am using the default kernel on makdeake 8.0 i installed my kde 2.2 beta 1 on top of
kde 2.2alpha2 release
other than the slow startup and launching applications looks pertty good to me :-) ohh
and the new kpersonalizer is kool :-)

Just to give warning, KDE2.2-alpha is more robust than the latest beta. It
would appear to be a good idea to stick with alpha and NOT upgrade to the
current beta.
Problems: 1. Sound is broken. Installing kde 2.2 beta and the concurrent
arts and libarts breaks sound in kde. It dorks something up with
initializing /dev/dsp. This is true for me upon installing kde2.2 beta on
two different machines with different sound systems.
2. Several personal settings do not take. I have found that every time I
log in, I have to reactivate antialiasing of fonts in kcontrol and I must
reset my mouse acceleration.
As for kernel-2.4.6, it doesn't appear to support supermount. I am not
offered the option of activating supermount support in xconfig, menu, or
menuconfig when compiling it. Also, building and installing the alsa drivers
fails to properly setup you modules.conf (I never had this problem before
building and installing 2.4.6-1mdk). This may or may not be related to the
arts problem and /dev/dsp.
