Just install the KDE official rpm's ( not SuSE's ) with --upgrade --force, or maybe --install --force. The idea is to bruteforce put those KDE3.1 files on your SuSEbox. Worked for me. So, rpm -i --force k*.rpm or rpm --upgrade --force k*.rpm just try a few things. Packages that really wont install are better to delete, for example: i had some problems with a pim-package if i remember right. It might be neccecary to remove all kde settings for an user, or else it _may_ crash ( on my config it did...

Hi all, I actually found the solution for the font problems with Qt/KDE some ppl may already have experienced, after upgrading to Xfree86 4.3.0. Like i thought yesterday, it really is something between Qt and XF4.3. More specificly, between Qt and Xft. The clue is as following: 1: Follow every step from SuSE's (XF4.3) README, and be sure XF4.3 works fine beside the font problem described above. 2: Download xshared-4.2.0-187.i586.rpm from SuSE's ftp (or mirror). 3: Extract libXft.so.1.1 from the ...

Hi all, I am using SuSE 8.1 with KDE 3.1 (and Qt 3.1.1), and just upgraded from XFree 4.2 to 4.3. Everything seems to be working and im overall very satisfied with the latest XF release. However, there are certain fonts which give strange or even no visuals. For example, when i select certain fonts in kword/kedit/konsole(/...) they are invisible, or viewed as very long thin lines. Fonts with problems include: Charter Clean Clearlyu Courier [Adobe] Courier [Bitstream] ... Helvetica [Adobe] .... a...

Tnx for the advise. However, this doesnt seem to be the problem. Another discovery i made was that all GTK programs _do_ display all fonts correct, only Qt programs _dont_ and give the problems discribed above. I am using Qt 3.1.1 (SuSE), KDE3.1 (Official), and XFree 4.3.0 (SuSE). Any problems known with the combination of this software? Couldnt find anything on any of the corresponding websites. My guess is a incompatibily between XFree 4.3's Xft module and Qt, i hope someone can help me. I wil...

Hi all, I am using SuSE 8.1 and just upgraded to XFree86 4.3, using SuSE RPMS ( doing exactly what the suse readme says). Everything works great, and i'm overall very satisfied. However, there are certain fonts which give strange or even no visuals. For example, when i select certain fonts in kword/kedit/konsole(/...) they are invisible, or viewed as very long thin lines. Tried the KDE fontinstaller, tried to do some fonts-config -f, while playing with some XF86Config options like adding or remo...
