Still on 11.2!! This problem occurs only on the web. Viewing local files and mail work fine. Mail is provided by my ISP. Loading a page from any source on the web is fine for the initial download but paging down causes multiple broken lines. Reload generally fixes until the next page down.
The error log provides three incidents:
Error in parsing value for ‘moz-border-radius’.
Unknown property ‘box-shaow’.
Error in parsing value for ‘poition’.

do you mean that when you scroll down the the same line of text may
appear several times…maybe with large empty spaces between the
lines…and, maybe not an entire readable line, maybe just the top half
of the line?
if that is what you are describing, tell us about your graphics hardware
and driver…both of those available if you click on My Computer and
look under “Display Info”…
also, tell us your operating system, its version and your desktop
environment and version…
is this only happening in your browser, or also in other applications?
which browser are you using, and version…
if you have Desktop Effects enabled, does it still happen if you turn
those off?
has this always happens since you first installed this operating system,
or did it just start?

Just a couple of thoughts here: Is there a magazine shop around that sells Linux magazines? I would see if I could find openSUSE in one of those. Second, support for your graphics is not going to get any better. Not even sure how long support will continue. However, a minimal distribution of some sort might be better for you in your hardware situation. Unfortunately distributions keep going forward and getting bigger and which can require ever more resources from your computer.
Installed 11.4 - Problem solved. The new one is that filing sometimes dos not transfer to folder. Too little RAM? only 512K.
As long as you have enough swap file, tasks should just be slow, but not fail, if the OS does load successfully. However it has been a while since I tried to run a PC with only 512K. Even Windows XP had a problem trying to do only a couple of tasks with that little of memory. I would check your swap usage and see if it is maxed out or not. If too small, perhaps the swap file needs to be increased.
Free Swap memory 1.8GiB of 2.1 GiB; 90% free. So it looks as if I must go for more Ram? I just love this 11.4 with it’s KInfoCentre (had to spell it in English!).

One thing is for sure, when the swap is being used, you could use more memory. How much more? Well I would go for 1 GB I think (adding in one 512 MB stick), but it depends on how you got to 512 MB. All memory slots full and must replace both? Then perhaps go for 2GB (2 - 1 GB sticks of memory) if you intend on keeping the computer for a while.
Well, it would seem that I have enough swap space. I have two additional RAM slots available that would take me to 1MiB. Yes, I am stuck with archaic technology and must push on regardless!

Please johnmidl, do not be so sad. You are using Linux, what I have decided is the most powerful operating system in the world, for the powerful and for the not so powerful. It still works the same for you. Having a working computer and even the ability to contemplate adding in some more memory means you are fortunate in every way. And no matter what you have, we are here to help you the very best we can.
Thank YOU for those kind words! I appreciate the assistance that you guys so readily provide. I have been searching local sources for the hardware and best prices. Who told me that 95% of the super computers in the World operate on Linux? I enjoy educating those unfortunate enough to use that other no-alternative OS. The trouble is that most are too scared to run in parallel with eventual freedom in sight. :shame::shame:

You are welcome johnmidl as we do our best here to help. As for Windows, it is well…, everywhere and so I can’t blame most people for not know about Linux. I continue to get anyone I can to use openSUSE including now two co-workers, one relative and one next door neighbor. Hopefully a lot more use it due to our help here. I might also add if you find any company that is supporting Linux, please try to put your support in for them. As for the super computers in the world, it is said that Linux is there in force, but I am afraid my associations with such computers is pretty slim, so I must take their word on that.
