Description René Krell 2008-09-25 10:11:30 UTC

Version:           3.0 (KDE: 4.1.2 (KDE 4.1.1 (KDE 4.1 >= 20080828)) "release 52.2") (using Devel)
Compiler:          gcc 
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled sources

After applying the setting "Enable desktop effects" from the systemsettings tool KWin crashes and returns me to the KDM logon. After that, logon does no longer work, KWin crashes immediately again. I will append logs later. After disabling the above setting launching systemsettings from another window manager, as twm, and restarting KDE 4.1.1+, all works as before, without desktop effects.

Hardware:
- Intel 865 G

I use the latest OpenSUSE 11.0 (x86) repositories for:
- X.org - xorg 7.4 (with XAA acceleration, since EXA still doesn't work performantly), Intel video driver 2.4.97
- Qt - Qt 4.4.2
- KDE 4 stable desktop

Let me know if I forgot something to tell here.
Thanks for KDE4.

If you're returned to KDM, that means X crashed. By that time the X log from the crashes session is already moved to Xorg.0.log.old and the one you posted is from the new X session.

Of course, you are right :-) Here it is (zipped). Anything else?

I put this at the bug tracker in freedesktop.org, hoping I did well:
