Meaning other linux video editing apps are not as good ?
I am seeing a problem with Cinelerra, installed from the Packman
repositories on top of a clean Opensuse 10.3. Although the install
proceeds with no problem, when firing up the application, it does not
respond to mouse clicks or keyboard input, and cannot be shut off short
of killing the X server.
The problem is also reported on the Cinelerra forums.

Not everybody who installs Cinelerra on Opensuse 10.3 has this problem.
I think I have seen somewhere, but cannot find any more, speculation
that this behavior could be unique to machines using NVidia graphics
adapters.
Did you try updating OpenSuse ?
Did you try installing the proprietary Nvidia drivers ?
What file systems are you using ?
Kind regards Philippe

Thank you for taking the time to answer.
I cannot say I have exhaustively tested all the Linux video apps. I've
installed Pit-something, Kino and another one or two, and read maybe a
dozen online reviews. Cinelerra's interface looks a lot like Adobe
Premiere, which I know a little about, and I was able to follow the
tutorials for it further than I could those for the others. So it looks
like the candidate.
Opensuse 10.3 is fully updated. In fact, Cinelerra was the very first
app I installed after the post-install update.
The proprietary Nvidia drivers? Hmmmmm. Not sure where I would find
those. Where might they be?
File systems? ext3, I think is the file system.
