Now, this system seems not to be able to handle my Nvidia GeForce GTX 460. It freezes all the time. If it doesn't freeze the desktop effects get switched off due to "restart of graphics". When I log out and in, the desktop icons spread somehow over the screen and I have to reorder them - each and every time. Bug reports are not seen, obviously.
Could be that this was the solution:
The last thing I did was changing KDE system settings -> display -> compositor, "Ausgabemodul" from OpenGL 2.0 to 3.1.
Since that change the computer was up and running with no problems, using all kind of programs, I tried to go to the max with many firefox windows open, plus digikam, plus gimp with up to 8 windows, each containing an approx. 30 MB image file, finally open win 10 in virtualbox and at the same time using thunderbird, firefox and VLC with a video on the OS host... All perfect!
As a new nvidia driver came with the updates, before installing it, I changed back to OpenGL 2.0 and after logout/in the desktop was completely unresponsive (couldn't click an icon, they were displayed slightly blurred). Didn't go into more tests, as it is obvious that OpenGL 2.0 isn't liked by my system.
Now I updated to the new nvidia driver, rebooted, and the system is now running since 2 and half an hour. Hopefully this change from OpenGL 2 to 3.1 was the solution. I keep the finger crossed :-)
Thanks again for your input (and for tolerating my angry, frustrated original post)
Most interesting. I didn't even know that one could change from OpenGL 2 to 3.1 and so have been running on 2.0 all this time without any problems. But then, I do compile the nVidia driver myself... -- a yer eggo i kudnt spel progrmer butt naw i ar won! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
