my preliminary web searches do not find any information on getting 8.1
to work but, i will look a little further for you.
kde is an environment with many packages and upgrading it could take
some time. i would recommend going to www.kde.org to see what they have
to say about it. inevibably, when you go to install the rpm's, you will
get some dependency issues. whenever i find myself in that situation, i
just go out and get the dependent rpm and install, backtracking the
dependencies as i go.
if kde does not list mdk rpm's, i would suggest going to www.rpmfind.net
to get them so you know they are compatable with the distro.
i will let you know if i find anything more on making 8.1 work. that
would be the prefered method.

I am having problems to migrate my laptop (Toshiba satellite 4090XCDT)
from 8.0
to 8.1; in fact the problem appears with the X configuration, the
installation
detects the appropriate video-card (Trident Cyber 9525 generic) and as
monitor
the SVGA High frequency, 1024x768 at 70 Hz. This runs fine under 8.0,
but under
8.1 if I switch from a virtual desktop to other, or after 5 minutes the
screen
became black (this is due to the energy save activation) or I open the
computer
after a resume stop... the screen becames crazy, a intense light start
to expand
all over the screen and it seems it could be broken.
I have tried other similar configurations but ever the same problem
appears.
Finally I needed the computer to give my classes (presentation using
Staroffice
5.2) and I had to install it again 8.0.
The question is if the problem could be due to the XFree86 4.1 or to a
mandrake
8.1 bug.
In the case that this were impossible to solve, could anyone tell me
what
must I do to actualize my kde in 8.0 to the release used in 8.1?, I mean
what
files and libs I will have to update and what other actions I will need
to do.
Thanks a lot your help in advance
