Sorry, no luck here either. Not a big deal. I wouldn't be messing with my 7.2 install at all if not for a sound and cdrom access problem. If the kde packages that came with the disks are used, it works perfectly, but if I upgrade to the updated packages I lose sound for everyone except root (and access to the cd drive too).
Regressing to the prior version of kde fixes the problem but all things considered I would rather go forward than back... Also kde 2.2 packages cause problems as well and are basically unusable... Would an install from the kde source packages solve these problems?
