I have just installed open suse 11.4 linux.
First thing I noticed is that when I click with RMB on desktop, menu opens which is half transparent and "Noisy". This is not the right word, but it is very hard to explain since I cannot make print screen. In mozilla everything is file, but if I click start GIMP and click on File then menu opens that is also transparent and hardly visible. I thinks it has something to do with KDE enviroment.
After spending couple of hours struggling with the problem, I have easily solved it by switching to GNOME. Installing ATI notebook driver is mission impossible.
Thank you for your time.
openSUSE 12.1 KDE doesn't have this issue. The reason why its acting up is there's a bug in the rendering of Desktop effects, which are enabled by default. In openSUSE 11.4 or earlier, if you go into Run, then run systemsettings, you can go to Desktop Effects and either change the rendering software or turn Desktop Effects altogether. The only thing to keep an eye with on GNOME is that its radically different in 12.1 with GNOME 3 coming down the pike... google screenshots of GNOME 3 and by updating to 12.1 that's what your GNOME will look like. openSUSE 11.4 will remain supported into September of 2012.
