Same problem on openSUSE 10.2 x86_64, KDE-3.5.5 and 2.6.21-rc2.

This is the linux kernel mailing list. Perhaps you should post your problem to the opensuse mailing list.

2.6.20 worked.

2.6.20-rc2 did not.

Working theory: the kernel broke.

Sid, the chances that anyone can work out what caused this are pretty low. It would be great if you could perform a git bisection search sometime in
the next few weeks, work out which commit caused this.

Thanks.



I shall go back to 2.6.20-git3 and work forward. Up to 2.6.20-git2 was OK.
Regards
Sid.
