At one point, I did have some issues on my "old" box, which our son has now. 
But, I had been "messing around" with the install, and it WASN'T a clean 
install either, but an upgrade. As soon as I did a clean pure SUSE install, 
the problems went away. I don't have a problem with Kwrite, but I also don't 
use it for large files.

Yes........get nVidia and be rid of the display problems. Intel is supposed to 
be so "friendly" to Linux, but drivers for their integrated video STINK....NO 
3D. Maybe one reason I have less problems is that I know what hardware works 
well with Linux, and I simply WON'T use anything else!
