Hi all, I run Suse 7.2 prof with kde2.2.2 and qt2.3.1 on a MSI K7T Turbo RAID motherboard with an NVIDIA 2 MX 200 32 MB AGP Graphics Card. RAM is 512 MB. X as installed with 7.2 prof. not modified. Originally I used the nv driver, but, to gain some speed, especially because changing the desktops was quite slow, I installed the new nvidia drivers NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-2313.suse72.i386.rpm and NVIDIA_GLX-1.0-2313.suse72.i386.rpm, using sax2. Before the update I was seeing a memory leak killing X slowly. When I start working top show X using Memory just under 40%. While working (kmail, quanta, opera, konqueror) this increased steadily to over 100 % (after a couple of hours) and then the swapping takes forever, I have to log out and at least restart X. I blamed it on Quanta, since that was the prog always used, while the others are not used at all the time, however I did not test working a few hours without quanta. (Question: How could I check what is causing X to use more and more memory?) Then, after switching from nv to the nvidia driver, first no change. desktop updates had been as slow as before. X did eat the memory away as before. But now, when I log out from kde, the screen freezes with a nice black-white stripe pattern. Nothing works, no reaction on any keyboard input. I have to hard-reboot. After this happened a couple of times, and I had been ready to reinstall the nv drivers, suddenly kde comes up with weird fonts (I have anti-aliasing and a lot of tt fonts installed). I cannot see most of the fonts. I blame the hard reboot and try to do a clean reboot. Next time the weird font setup is still there, but all fonts are back, and I can reconfigure the fonts again. -> But now the desktop changes are really FAST in one quick step a desktop changes and not slow in two steps, as before. -> And now, which miracle, X stopped eating all memory, I can work for hours with the same progs (quanta etc.) and X stays always around 40%! My guess is that the nvidia drivers had been installed, but for a special reason not used properly at the beginning. The crash did delete something, which then allowed the nvidia drivers to really work. But what? It would be fine now, but the crashes after logging out from kde are NOT gone, and they surely will cause some damage soon. So I'm stuck between the crashes at every log out and going back to nv, and possibly re-introducing the memory hunger of X, which makes the system quickly slow and also forces reboot regularly. Well, you understand, I would appreciate any ideas and hints to address this problem, if possible staying with the nvidia drivers and stopping the crashes, and, if that is not possible, to go back to nv but without getting a overly memory hungry X again.
