After seeing the news about KDE4.2 being ready for Opensuse 11.1 I
clicked the one-click install link. After clicking through the screens I
got some conflicts, this is from the log file it generated:

As I’m not an expert with Linux and don’t want to just guess what to do
(which would most likely end in a broken system), could anyone here tell
me what I should do?
If you deinstall compiz-kde4-0.7.8-9.1.i586, how do you get compiz
working again after the upgrade to 4.2? If you try to install
compiz-kde4 in YaST after the fact it wants to downgrade 60 packages.
Be careful - I have loads in there. But check which are enabled!!
Remember I’m always testing, this is not a recommended list. Harry- I
know you understand that. But OTHERS may not.

Thanks, I’d assume that you picked up the newer versions from one of the
community repos. Oh well, I appreciate your time. I’ll have to go back
to basics on getting compiz working on this laptop. It’s a Thinkpad X61s
with an Intel GPU. 3D is working, and the driver is ‘Intel’.
You understand native compiz in kde4 under kwin uses kde window
decoration, unlike say: compiz with emerald of days gone.
I use oxygen icon theme, slim-glow for the desktop/panel and crystal
for the windows. kwin is set as WM with desktop effects enabled. Bespin
is nice too.
Yes I do understand that now thanks. It was working all along. A couple
of Q’s. How do you enable ctrl-alt-right/left/up/down arrow for desktop
switching.? Also, it seems to be a bit slow here with effects enabled,
even though I have 4GB of ram and a dual core 1.6 CPU. Any tips on
speeding it up?
I switch from the panel, not big with keyboard shortcuts. I see a right
click on the pager in the panel offers keyboard shortcut option.
As for speed: I can’t offer much advice. I have not had any need to
even try and speed things up. Though I have seen some comments
suggesting that using qt45 has helped, in fact factory desktop is
offered combined with qt45 in the repo’s. But when I looked at using it,
it presented a huge roll back - still 4.2 but masses of packages went to
red, so I still run qt44 as it is working so well.
