I rebuilt the whole of KDE on DP2 (upto date as of a couple of days
ago). Apart from me growing older in the process nothing worked well,
despite using the same configuration as on 4.7.
- It starts but no sound arises
- The mouse moves, responds to clicks sometimes, but when I bring up the
menu and move the mouse it brings up the box asking what command you
want to run.
- Lots of errors reported about bad file descriptors.
- Gives a default resolution that is not the one I set.
- I.e unusable.

Windowmaker does not work, either...sort of similarly. Also says
/dev/dsp does not exist.

Gnome ... well it bitched about the window manager, but otherwise showed
similar symptoms to KDE.

I think the problem must lie in X itself.

Well it exercised DP2 pretty well in building it.
But it did not produce a usable GUI in all 3 cases.

System is 512MB, PIII 1Ghz, Matrox G450 AGP, Soundblaster Live! Value.
Plus Logitech Cordless USB Optical Mouse.

Am I being premature, there does not seem to be a KDE Package for 5.0.
When I tried to fetch it all I got was one file, that new groovy theme
that KDE comes with.
