LXDE runs fine. However, TDE is unstable and already
during the setup
wizard the screen goes blank after a few second, then comes back, goes
blank again and after a few times X crashes and goes back to the login
screen. With LXDE, I have a similar issue if I use a openGL application
that displays atoms as spheres (other representations work fine). In that
situation, the screen also flashes a few times and the application that I
use crashes, but the LXDE session survives. This makes me think that it is
probably related to the video card not beeing correctly supported by newer
kernels. The video card is: Mesa Intel 965GM. I wonder whether anybody has
any idea how to troubleshoot this, especially as everything else seems to
work fine.
It's not Trinity's or openSUSE's fault:

Q965 with modesetting DIX GPU HANG
Problem exists in Debian too.

Make sure the xf86-video-intel rpm is installed and its provided intel DDX display
driver in use to avoid the problem. As TW kernels do not have the problem, the
backport kernel-default labeled as Leap lp155 may work as well:
