I've done a new install of 8.2 and am having problems with windows in some applications -- particularly konqueror (also affects kmail). With every page I view, whenever the mouse leaves a window or I click on the desktop, the window goes blank. Moving the mouse back into the window sometimes brings the contents back. Sometimes I have to click in the window or move the scrollbar around to get the contents back. With some pages with a lot of buttons/images, moving the mouse around will restore whatever image is below the mouse without bringing back everything. I have an NVidia GeForce2 MX card with the latest NVidia drivers (4349). I've tried changing various settings that look like they may be relevant but nothing changes the behavior. I'm not sure what other information to provide because I can't figure out what might be causing the problem. I haven't installed anything other than what's on the 8.2 DVD or from online update. Does anyone have any idea what is going on here? And what's more important, how to fix it? Thanks, Dan

I don't know the answer to your problem, I just wanted to point out that 4349 isn't the latest. The latest is 4363

Anders. Have you used the installer with 8.1? On the NV site it states that if your using 8.1 or earlier that you should got to the ftp site and get the rpms built by/for SuSE. I was just wondering if I should use the installer or go for the ftp rpms? I have read on the list that some have used the installer with 8.1, but want to avoid any possible nVidia hell all the same.

I've used it and it works. But if the rpms are there, why not go for them?

I haven't seen anything like an "nvidia hell". The only PITA with the installer is the number of rpms requiring libGL*, and since the installer isn't an rpm, there are dependency problems. You might consider creating a fake rpm that doesn't contain anything, but which Provides: libGL and libGLcore

Nah, I'll go YaST and rpms. I will be upgrading to 8.2 in a week are so and then give the installer a try. Thanks much.

The installer worked for me today on my 8.2. Just had to start up in init 3 to do it (those are the instructions they give), went like a charm. No burps, hiccups, or farts...was fast too.
