<snip> Just a bit of follow-up on the kde-unstable install on my laptop. I have driven it hard today, and I am really impressed. Even on the laptop with the old radeon X1200 running on the radeonhd driver, things work really, really well. There are a few peculiarities, (like having to turn on compositing twice, and a few others) but kde4.3 beta2 works really well on Arch (better in some respects than on the suse platform -- the kiss philosophy really pays off) Just one note. If you have removed kdemod3 before installing kde-unstable and then you re-install kdemod3, you will need to change the DAEMONS line in /etc/rc.conf to call kdm3 instead of kdm to get the kdemod3 session type choice back. (I know you can configure kdm to do that, but I haven't got that far) Now if the radeonhd driver handled cooling/powerdown better or Arch was able to get the fglrx driver ironed out, my laptop would stay pure Arch. But 3rd degree palm burns are nothing to scoff at ;-) -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
