Re: TDE unstable with openSUSE 15.6 on old laptop

The intel display driver is the DDX. The modesetting driver is a DIX.
DDX - device dependent X driver
DIX - device independent X driver

Dependent means only supports the device brand. Independent works with Intel,
AMD, NVidia and other devices. It's newer, different technology. Thus, bugs
in a DDX may be absent in a DIX, and vice versa.

I'm confused why the Xorg.0.log file does not show DDX since I did install the RPM xf86-video-intel as you recommended:

rpm -qa | grep xf86-video-intel
xf86-video-intel-2.99.917.916_g31486f40-150500.3.6.1.x86_64

I am happy though that I am now able to login to TDE. Without xf86-video-intel I could only use LXDE.

As you mention in your second e-mail, it could have to do with the RAM. I may try to find RAM compatible for this laptop. It also looks like it only has 3 GB installed instead of the 4 GB supported:
