https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=484573 Summary: NVIDIA driver makes KDE4 unusable after latest kernel update Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.1 Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: P5 - None Component: Kernel AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: luiz-lange@yahoo.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Created an attachment (id=278970) --> (https://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=278970) This is the only log with indication of the "nvidia" driver being loaded, so I assume it is the correct one, but it may be from. Right now I have User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.0.6) Gecko/2009012700 SUSE/3.0.6-0.1.2 Firefox/3.0.6 I have by mistake entered this bug in the general forum: http://forums.opensuse.org/hardware/409693-hp-pavilion-dv6840el-latest-updat... Also, please see my comments as Mar Aberto here: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=181697 Whenever I have the NVIDIA driver installed, the only way I can use the laptop is with IceWM. Again, I have OpenSuse 11.1 on an HP Pavilion dv6840el. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.install NVIDIA driver from NVIDIA repository. 2. login to KDE 4 Actual Results: At second login, the mouse pointer is visible, but the screen is like a hand-quilted blanket, with squares all over the screen that are fragments of the previously used softwares/windows. It is like a nightmare of bad memories... I have to hit the power button in order to log off, and then get in again only with IceWM (so I can remove the nvidia driver again). Expected Results: Before the latest kernel update, the NVIDIA driver was working just fine, including double monitors through HDMi cable, OpenGL screensavers and games (mostly), etc. I expected the updated kernel + driver to have performed the same at least, if not better. I wanted to add the correct x11 log file, but right now the NVIDIA driver is not installed, so I'll have to append it later, if it is possible. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
