One thing I could guess that SuSE's kernel configuration doesn't play
with your hardware.

There are also problems reported with certain Notebooks,
but I don't know your hardware setup...

You could play around by disabling ACPI on the kernel command line, etc.

May be it's a problem w/ 2.6.x.

But in any way, I'm pretty sure it's _not_ a KDE issue.
