Hello,
How did you install? Did you upgrade via RPM or did you download the kde
source tarball and build the whole thing OR did you download source rpms and
build them? Did you upgrade from KDE 2.2 alpha? If you installed it, as I
did, on Mandrake 8.0 systems, and you did not build from source then you had
to upgrade a whole host of other rpms to meet dependencies, which is part of
what I consider the culprit in my problems.
All I know is that with two Mandrake 8.0 systems upgraded from kde 2.2 alpha
2.3 to beta 1, via binary cooker rpm + rpm dependency upgrades, I have lost
sound and personal settings, vis a vis font antialiasing and mouse
acceleration, and have to reset them every time I login after a new bootup.
Supermount support in kde is actually irrelevant. Supermount should be
something that is independent of window environment/window manager. It is
something the kernel supports (or doesn't). If you lost supermount, does
this mean that you have also upgraded to kernel 2.4.6 or did you lose
supermount simply by installing the kde beta?
