KDE 4.6 Beta - Cannot suspend/logout, stuttering

Hi,

I'm just reinstalled Arch64, and I'm running testing, as well as KDE unstable. This is on a Lenovo X200 tablet PC, with Intel graphics.

I've noticed a few issues with KDE 4.6 Beta 2:

• Unable to sleep - If I try to go to KDE Menu, Sleep, the screen seems to darken a bit, then goes black, but then seems to go to the screensaver page, as opposed to actually sleep.

• Unable to logout - Likewise with logout, the screen seems to darken a bit, and stay there.

• Slow, or stuttering - Several things, such as Alt-Tab, or bringing up Krunner seem to take a long time - sometimes even 30 seconds to show. Or the system just seems to lockup at times.

If I disable Desktop Effects - the logout now works, however, Sleep still does not.

And even with Desktop Effects disabled, the stuttering is still there, for example when I try to open Krunner with Alt-F2 or use Alt-Tab. (i.e. KDE seems to freeze for around 10 seconds - mouse still works, just can't click on anything).

Has anybody else seen this? Or know of any fixes/workarounds?

Cheers,
Victor

Regarding your second (and possibly first) issue, this may be related:

I have experinced it with a freshh install of KDE 4.5.4, 64bit.

If your're using 4.6 beta/RC please read carefully [kde-unstable] KDE 4.6  thread. There's been a lot of discussion about that problem.
