[opensuse-kde] nvidia 260 and KDE 4.5.3
Hello all, Has anyone been able to get the latest nvidia driver (260.19.21_k2.6.34.0_12-19.1) to work with KDE 4.5.3 from KDE:Release:45? I have another machine that is running KDE 4.4 and the new nvidia driver works fine. This nvidia driver version has never worked for me. When I log in, plasma (or plasma-desktop) crashes and I am left with a black screen and a mouse cursor. I have been using ALT+F2 and running yast2 to revert to the older driver (256.53). I believe this is a known issue for some time now. I just wanted to know if anyone was able to find a work around or know who/when this will be fixed? Thanks. openSUSE 11.3 Kernel 2.6.34.7-0.5-desktop KDE 4.5.3 (KDE 4.5.3) "release 10" nvidia GeForce 8600 GT Cheers, Alvin -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org

rpm -qa | grep nvidia x11-video-nvidiaG02-260.19.21-20.1.x86_64 nvidia-gfxG02-kmp-desktop-260.19.21_k2.6.34.0_12-19.1.x86_64 with a 7600 everything works fine. I guess you have tried a new user to avoid any corrupted config files?

Working here with factory, and nivida 260.19.21 (now but have work with inferior version ) Absolutely now pb with my quadro FX360M

Yes it's well known, and popular :-) https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=251719 But it seems, that depend more on the graphic's card & chipset, more than only the binary drivers. In my case, as I'm testing also factory 11.4, I build the drivers manually Otherwise, with kde444 distro/stable 260.19.21 with my geforce 8600 Gt they work

It works here on x64 machine, but on the other x86 I've experienced
mentioned problems.
Plasma segfaults with floating point exception message.
Downgrading nvidia driver fixes the mentioned problem.

Howdy, I found the problem wasn't completely resolved on my laptop. `Xorg's CPU usage would skyrocket occasionally for the session. The only resolution I was able to implement was to revert to the Nouveau graphics driver.

I tried by disabling all (is it `alt+F12'? I can't recall at the moment the vulcan-like sequence. :) but also by disabling all effects too and the CPU would still spike.

I recall a post sometime back referring to this same problem. In the post it said to remove any time widgets (digital clock .....), I removed them and the crash goes away. Running 11.3 kde 4.5.3 I went back to the 256.53 driver, for now until who ever is suppose to fix the issue gets it fixed. So can't say I've seen cpu usage issues. 256.53, works for me now, and If it's not broke, do not fix it :) Tony On 11/24/2010 06:41 AM, Alvin Beach wrote:

Hi Tony, Interesting about removing the time widgets. Thank you. I experienced the CPU issues using .53. :( Cheers, -- Pablo Sanchez - Blueoak Database Engineering, Inc Ph: 819.459.1926 Fax: 760.860.5225 (US) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org
Pretty much hard for an average user to fiddle with config files.
However completely removing plasma files will not resolve this issue,
since plasma restores default config and it contains those widgets.
Unfortunately is an nvidia driver issue on x86 systems (maybe not all).
