I have recently installed Slackware 13.0 with KDE 4.24. When I first
tried to load KDE it did not load. Later, for no apparent reason it
loaded, but very slowly. Sometimes it loads quickly.
I have never been able to exit from KDE without rebooting the computer.
Just now I changed some of the visual settings. Nothing that would
appear riske. However, now it crashes just as the disk drive icon on the
splash screen appears. I made no adjustments that would affect how KDE
reads drives.
Can anyone help me? |

i'm sure the kde specific groups can help better, but post the xorg
config file, just in the strange case it's slackware specific. |

Does any other window manager works well for you in Slack-13.0?

Did you try any of the following:
ctrl-alt-backspace
killall X (as root from a terminal window)
killall -9 X (as root from a terminal window)
ctrl-alt-f2 (then ctrl-alt-f7 to get back to X and kde)

It would also be helpful if Paul could explain how he tries to exit from
KDE. How does he start KDE, and what exact behavior does he experience
when following what path of actions to exit KDE?

well, from what i see, dunno if it's required in the xorg included with
slack 13, but.
there should probably be a section to enable direct rendering, besides
loading the module, which you apparently have loaded
Section "DRI"
# Group "video"
mode 0666
EndSection
at the very end.
i dunno if you need mode lines or not, but, maybe add them
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 24
Modes "1152x864" "1024x768" "800x600"
EndSubSection
probably won't make any difference.
it's odd that it's listing 'unknown board', and 'unknown vendor', there
probably should be an actual name in there.
looks strange to me, but i've seen it around, this
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7"
probably is ok, but, makes me huh.
i'm not a super nix dude, but changing some of that junk might get
things running better. maybe the configure program you used has failed. |
