Various problems at different times. Loading will not complete; home page comes and then hangs. Loading apparently completes, but no taskbar. Autohide does not always work. Screen fills with lines while loading. System will hang requiring reboot. Unrelated is that resorting to konsole one cannot enter command; characters display two-a time!? System will not shut down fully on occasion with popup and varied messages: Executable: kpat PID: 1860 Signal: Segmentation fault (11) or Executable: kdeinit4 PID: 1821 Signal Segmentation fault (11).

which of these three supported methods did you use:

notified by Apper? do not use Apper, it is broken…disable it or
uninstall it, and use only YaST Online Update or “zypper patch”

you have don’t no 1-Click installs? or enabled any repos other than oss,
non-oss, packman and update?

as you self diagnosed a graphics problem i’d suggest you should follow

I hope that my nose is adequate to the task! Perhaps I should employ a Beagle to assist me! You have confirmed my suspicions, thanks. Will definitely keep you updated.

Dunno if it will help, but I have a similar spec to you:
AMD TurionX2 (64 bit) laptop
Radeon Xpress 200M (RS482)
KDE4.8
I’m on 12.1_x64 and I use the radeon driver, with no xorg.conf, using systemd. I have no graphical issues, although kwin compositing is slightly slow (but workable) with this card. I note that I can’t use the VGA out on this laptop (to external screen) without graphical artifacts.
Gentlemen (and ladies?). I am a complete idiot! Since 9.3 I have logged off leaving kpat for the next login. It has only just dawned on me that kpat is PATIENCE to which I am addicted and play while waiting for something else to happen - like listening to some dame assuring me that “your call is important to us” and “you will be connected to the next available consultant”. Yeah. Anyway, I have resorted to closing the app before shutting down. But, obviously, there is some bug lurking around. rotfl! The other problems still exist.

Weird. Since abandoning kpat when closing down the system seems more stable. I have found that system hardware shows three identical entries for monitor. Could this be confusing it?
