openSUSE 11.3 issues that I hope are patched for the final

English Install/Boot/Login
#1

I dont think openSUSE 11.3 likes my graphics card on my main machine, I have an intel 915 graphics card on her and so far I have not seen any issues reported with this model of card yet.
Graphics look odd, there are gray boxes in the virtual desktop switcher, there are strange areas of the screen that look like there are scanlines all over the place, there are areas that look like alpha transparency.
I can only describe my issues as they dont appear in my screenshots, I might actually have to mock up screenshots to show off what I am experiencing.
These issues are real but only appear in openSUSE 11.3, Ubuntu looks fine, Mandriva looks fine, Fedora looks fine, openSUSE 11.2 is fine.
But 11.3 looks like junk.

The issue even happens with desktop effects off.

Then report them on a Bugzilla! Not here.

Yes, there have been many reported issues with Intel cards.

Use a camera.

The problems appear on any distro using that type of kernel and config
(KMS, xorg version, driver).

Indeed ! That is exactly what I was about to suggest.

Any bugs not yet in the Bugzilla will NOT be fixed before the release.
Factory has identified the Builds to be GM candidates and will soon be
generating them and pushing them to the mirrors.

It is probably worth mentioning again. The Forums are for getting help and
for determining if there is a bug or a misconfiguration/user error;
however, for real bugs, they MUST be reported in the Bugzilla as the
developers who will fix the bugs do not read these posings.

I had this until I switched from Air for Netbooks to Glassified. I don’t like the black background, but I can see everything.
