The problem with the "default" OS11.4 is more general. I have no clue what it may be but the kdb (USB) is not functioning, gfx is not fount etc. I suspect it may be a problem with the modules setup, as i see much less modules in the /lib/modules/"default" tree than in the desktop tree. > > Keyboard and mouse drivers in 11.4 are different from those in 11.2, and > your xorg.conf is probably setting use of uninstalled drivers.

Replacing KDE with fvwm2 .. everything is fine. There are no special setups for KDE of what so ever involved. even removing .kde* does not help. > Which Intel gfx chip do you have (clue: lspci)? i915, driver is found but requieres acpi to work (took me by surprise) I am totaly stuck where KDE stores that type of configs. re, wh -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
