KDE-Forum.org

I'm new to Linux and installed SUSE 8.2 a few weeks ago and use KDE as my desktop. The machine is a modified HP Pavilion AMD K2 350MHZ with 158MB ram, PCI sound & video, serial modem, USB printer. Dual boot with Win98.

All has been fine until a few days ago when it happened that after a successful (?) boot KDE would not start - no wristwatch. I guess that the video server is not starting. this means I am stuck and have to pull the plug.

Yesterday, I tried to boot three times without success so I booted into Windows and later re-started into SUSE and up came KDE. Tonight I just let grub default into SUSE and KDE started straight off.

The irony is that my Win98 is very stable, reliable & nippy. I expect SUSE/KDE to be the same and for political reasons I want to be able to get Windows off my hard drive.

I would appreciate anyone's insight here!

I'm still suffering with this problem and would really appreciate some guidance here. There is a 1 in 3 chance that KDE will run and, quite frankly, it is unnerving to never be sure that I will have a GUI!
