KDE4 snafu

[shadowfx78]

I installed kde4 just to play with it and i enabled the desktop effects but it is unable to use my video card and i get a black screen. I uninstalled kde4 and reinstalled it
but i still get the black screen what can i do to fix this?

Re: KDE4 snafu

The only way to get back to normal (from what I've been told) is to delete the KDE4 directory in your home directory.

Re: KDE4 snafu

in kdm, the graphical login screen, click on the bottom right page like icon. Select session KDE and login in as normal...

Fintan, the forum kde4 man, might have more enlightened ideas but this should get you going again...

Re: KDE4 snafu

Glad to hear. KDE4 has a few annoyances at the moment, but I have grown to like it quite a bit. Just waiting for a little more stability, which I hope HH will have.

That definitely is better than wiping the entire folder. Thanks!
