Hi,
unfortunately quite working 42.3 had to be replaced with 15.1 due to end of security updates which are important to me.
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.
It's just a driver problem. Uninstall, reinstall the nvidia drivers. You likely need the G04 drivers (check what the GTX 460 requires -- damn good card, don't replace it, it has a 256-bit memory bus) No this doesn't have anything to do with differences in distributions. Use enough different distros and you learn it's all just Linux under the hood (even VMware is just Linux under the hood). Where they hide the parts is a bit different, and the package mangers vary, but it's all just Linux.... You want to see just how little you need, install Arch. -- David C.
