Had to make a couple of changes to inet1.conf and wireless.conf, and the video didn't work out of the box as it usually does. A quick xorgsetup fixed that though.
On to the changes so far:
inet1.conf
- The customer site I was at this afternoon had an open AP for vendors and clients and visitors and such. So while waiting for some other processes to finish, I looked to see if it had any issues. Since I almost never have this particular laptop on a wired connection, a standard configuration for me is to disable eth0 completely, so I changed the settings on eth0 and eth1 and swapped them so that eth1 had DHCP enabled.
wireless.conf
- This one was pretty simple, changing the ESSID="any" over to the client's ESSID.
Once that was done, a quick reboot verified that the wireless started correctly and connected, grabbed an IP, and I was up and on the network and able to resolve domains.
I booted up into KDE, my first real glimpse at the new version, and the screen tried to load only on the left side. So I got out, ran xorgsetup, accepted all the default options, and was back in business.
And boy was it ugly.
So to clarify. While the newer members of my team at work have gotten new laptops, I have stuck with my trusty T60 loaded with XP. And I've gotten to laugh everytime they had an issue with their Vista install. One guy needed telnet. welp, that's not loaded by default. One guy had to upgrade his Blackjack OS, and that wasn't working, he finally ended up using an XP machine to do the upgrade. The fun went on.
So, I get to keep my XP, and that's the way I liked it. But the new KDE. Yikes. I kept trying to find the "Classic Start Menu" option, but it wasn't there. Well, I couldn't find it anyway in the 10 minutes I had to play with it.
Anyway, so I'm not trying to do a review specifically of KDE, just the -current, so I'll stop with the digression. More testing as time permits...
