kwin crashes

Hey guys.

I use opensuse 12.1 with fglrx.

Kwin crashes pretty much everytime I login and stays frozen/crashed until I restart Xorg… in which case after 5 mins the same happens.
No idea why and no other observable pattern.

Any ideas?

did you upgrade? how? did you check the 12.1 CD (or DVD?) this way:

did it run ok before you installed fglrx?

if you at the first green screen press F5 and select systemv, does
anything change?

It used to work just fine. Then I reinstalled and now this is happening.

I will try systemV.

if it was working fine why did you reinstall???

if it ain’t broke do not fix it!

I reinstalled to fix a different problem.

running in system V doesn’t make a difference sadly.

I don’t want to reinstall again because I’m running servers on it and it will take at least 2 days to configure everything again. (It’s also my personal PC).

edit

Is there anyway I can get suse to reconfigure kwin Xorg and fglrx?

Just look at the other thread: http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/applications/470559-how-do-i-install-proprietary-radeon-catalyst-driver.html
We’re working on it.

Yes, check out that thread because it looks like we solved the problem! (no crashes so far and it’s got direct rendering)

Thanks guys, I used the advice in that thread and so far it’s working :). shot guys.
