Subject: 2.6.21-rc1 and 2.6.21-rc2 kwin dies silently

openSUSE 10.3 Alpha and KDE-3.5.6, xorg-x11-7.2. KDE is setup not to
require a password to unlock, but it asks for password. When the screen
unlocks, kwin is gone with no errors logged in /var/log/kdm or
/var/log/messages. No problems with 2.6.20.

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

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

That's very much appreciated. The point is that all vanilla kernels up
to 2.6.20+ have not had the problems now seen on 2.6.20-rc1 and
2.6.20-rc2 and like other problems reported, sic framebuffer, etc.,
there is a distinct likelihood that it's related to those kernels and
worth reporting here where it will also be seen by the openSUSE kernel
developers.
Regards
Sid.
