I haven't updated the drivers in a while. Would something like that |
| 47 |
just up and change even with no upgrade? I ask because I don't |
| 48 |
honestly know the answer. Also, would it not cause problems in Fluxbox |
| 49 |
as well? I played video in Fluxbox last night and it never missed a |
| 50 |
beat. I use smplayer to play videos just like I do in KDE. |

This is what sort of confuses me. KDE was locking up usually in less |
| 53 |
than a minute after logging in. After getting rid of openldap, it did |
| 54 |
the same. After renaming my .kde4 directory, it lasted several minutes |
| 55 |
before locking up. During one lockup, I even got the SysReq key to work |
| 56 |
and could reboot. The last time was a HARD lock up complete with the |
| 57 |
flashing lights on my keyboard. |
| 58 |
|
| 59 |
If this still locks up after emerge -e world and a reboot, I'm not sure |
| 60 |
what to do next. That should eliminate a corrupt file. Renaming .kde4 |
| 61 |
fixed KDE config problems so that doesn't leave much. I'm going to log |
| 62 |
into my test user and see what if anything it does. I'm not going to do |
| 63 |
any tinkering with settings, just the default stuff. I'll post back |
| 64 |
later what it does. |
