Hi,
this time it may not be the fault of nvidia (i am on nvidia too)... as I heard similar reports for ati and intel... and someone was blaming mesa...
Lot of Mesa changes lately, I think Intel is pushing some of it so as to get improvements for their Linux support. Been seeing a lot on Phoronix about this.
I suspect you are using oxygen... if you change to something else do you still have issues?
Not using Oxygen but rather QtCurve with Sonar icon theme. I did try a couple of other styles and it made no difference - still had to disable KWin desktop effects. It isn't that the desktop would not come up, it was more an extreme sluggishness. Examples would include typing in Konsole - type one character and it would be 6 seconds before it displayed kind of thing. You had to click a menu item on the menu bar as it would not highlight on hover. When the popup displayed it was dark but would eventually get the right background at some point after the mouse got over it. Start Firefox and it was only a big black box. And even disabling desktop effects didn't fix the Firefox situation. None of this happens with version 260.19.44. I think I've seen a couple of comments somewhere about regressions in latest NVIDIA code but I don't really know enough about that. I also have a hand-coded xorg.conf for configuring Twinview for use with two monitors. For testing I tried removing it and allowing Xorg to auto-configure itself. I would only get one monitor this way, but the problem remained present. I even tried nomodeset with corresponding change in sysconfig. Nothing I tried, short of going back to 260.19.44 made any difference. I have seen very similar occurrences in the past - and not just with Nvidia but also with Catalyst drivers I had been using before I bought the Nvidia card. I believe what I recall is a tendency of driver code writers to always say something to the affect of: "we've made changes x, y, z, etc to make stuff better, faster, etc, and any breakages in things like KWin as a result of changes we made need to be followed/fixed by said KWin people, etc...". Don't know if this is exactly what has happened this time, or not, it just 'feels' eerily similar to these past occurrences. -Mike [snip] -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
