The KDE4 behavior is the same once it is installed on the disk. On the other hand if I switch to XFCE desktop (still using kwin I guess) then I don't get the "black screen" behavior anymore and I can even run KDE4 application from there ...
** Description changed: My motherboard (a K7S41) used to run kubuntu hardy without trouble. But when I boot the Kubuntu intrepid live CD on this motherboard the video (based on the build in SIS graphic chip) is not behaving correctly. In particular, the screeen will go black any time I type on the keyboard, I click on the mouse or the mouse focus change. This black screen will last 1 to 3 seconds and then the screen get back to normal. Note that there is no visible crash, no deconnection, no CPU overload ... the system continues to work "normaly" but any time I try to - interact with it it, the screen issss getting black for a few secs and - then resume to normal until I type to type again. + interact with it it, the screen is getting black for a few secs and then + resume to normal until I try to type again. Therefore the system is quite unusable in its actual state. Is there some know compatibility problems between KDE4 and relatively low end graphic cards without 3D support? -- Kubuntu intrepid live CD behave badly on K7S41 motherboard https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/297871 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
