I’ve had a few issues recently opening a VMWare Server 2.0 web based console with Firefox 3.07 running on OpenSUSE 11.1. The console session just didn’t appear, which is a problem when you can’t SSH into the target VM due to lack of networking. The answer is obscure but works well:
VMWARE_USE_SHIPPED_GTK=TRUE firefox &
With this, the console works correctly as expected. Lovely.
I was having dreadful problems on my HP Laptop with KDE4 or Compiz – jaggies, slow performance, difficulty switching tabs in Firefox, the whole experience was poor. After a spot of Google trawling, I added these to the /etc/modprobe.conf.local on my installation of 11.0 (and 11.1)

This was with a Geforce 8400M GS which shows up in lspci as:
05:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GeForce 8400M GS (rev a1)
The difference was pretty dramatic. KDE 4.1is usable with KWin display effects turned on, tab switching is smooth and generally it’s pretty usable again. All using the NVidia 177.82 driver.
