11.2 milestone, can't report bugs(many)

Since I can’t find the location after logging into Novell’s website for bug reports, I thought I’d list the major ones here.

networkmanager, network setup, and sax2(with intel).

The kde4 applet fails on encrypted wireless and the kde3 one works indifferently. The network configuration fails to set a nameserver, when I check routing there seems to be something there but I need to manually add some ‘nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx’ to /etc/resolv.conf. Trying the old trick of ‘route add default …’ does nothing but generate an SIOCADDR.

Sax2 crashes instantaneously when the video card is an onboard intel i830. Could either use the command line ‘sax2 -r -m 0=vesa’, which gives a bad xorg.conf using the vesa driver and has major issues with screen corruption, or manually configure xorg.conf to use the intel driver.

The following works by disabling dri.

Option "NoAccel" "true"
or
Option "DRI" "off" & comment out the DRI section

The following works some of the time and has minimal screen corruption, with a GEM enabled kernel and updated Mesa + Xorg + driver.

Option "AccelMethod" "uxa"
Option "Tiling" "off"

I’m currently using the 2nd method, but may revert to the first if the screen corruption and flickering continue.

Further to deltaflyer’s post, I created a stickie here with some guidance:
openSUSE-11.2 - CALL FOR TESTERS - openSUSE Forums

Thanks for testing. The bug reports are important! The dev’s do not monitor this forum, and the only way to draw attention to what you have discovered is to raise the bug reports. Many thanks !!

The direct link to bugzilla works. Reported that an upgrade to 2.6.30 using latest xorg in factory fixes most of the problems with the intel driver.
