Description Martin Scherer 2007-11-06 13:10:10 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.3)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
Compiler:          AMD Athlon +3000 graphics card SiS 660
OS:                Linux

I can always start in the fail safe mode, but almost everytime I start KDE (or Gnome, come to that), the image on the monitor will freeze. Sometimes the computer behaves like it would still respond, but just cannot show any changes anymore. Sometimes the computer is really down and doesn't respond at all.
According to this symptoms, I marvelled if the graphics card (SiS 660) is to blame, even though the installation by SuSE-Yast2 does recognize it.
On the same computer it is almost impossible to start KDE with SuSE Linux 10.3, there where minor graphics problems with SuSE Linux 10.1 and it runs wonderfully with SuSE Linux 9.3.
There was only one of this versions installed at a time, to be sure in this respect. All mentioned versions were bought in the "box" of SuSE.

Since the problem exists in GNOME as well, it's unlikely to be a KDE problem -> report to your distribution please.
