+1 on this one. I just recompile the Nvidia driver, installed the 
hardway from Nvidia's website, and it fixes it. I'm not using X11. 

My major problem on both 11.4 and 12.1 MS4 is the distribution groups 
are not being updated or created in Kmail, either 1.13.7 on 11.4 and 
kmail2 on 12.1. After creating group in Contacts the group shows up in 
Kmail X with correct number if contacts but the information about 
contacts is totally blank.
