Hi,

since I suffer from steady crashes of my KDE 4.11.1 desktop on my 12.2 workstation, all with the same backtrace:

Thread 1 (Thread 0x7fa90251e780 (LWP 4502)): [KCrash Handler] #6 0x00007fa8ffac2d25 in __GI_raise (sig=sig@entry=6) at ../nptl/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/raise.c:64 #7 0x00007fa8ffac41a8 in __GI_abort () at abort.c:91 #8 0x00007fa8ffb00fcb in __libc_message (do_abort=do_abort@entry=2, fmt=fmt@entry=0x7fa8ffbf26c0 "*** glibc detected *** %s: %s: 0x%s ***\n") at ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/libc_fatal.c:198 #9 0x00007fa8ffb06b66 in malloc_printerr (action=3, str=0x7fa8ffbf27d0 "double free or corruption (!prev)", ptr=<optimized out>) at malloc.c:5007 #10 0x00007fa8f1b9107c in ??

the new driver 319.60 sounds promising:

Fixed a bug that could cause OpenGL applications to crash during the initialization of new threads.

Fixed a bug that caused the GPU and Memory clock frequencies for some PowerMizer performance levels on Kepler boards to be reported incorrectly in the nvidia-settings control panel. Fixed a bug that caused the X server to fail to start on certain laptops when the boot display was on an external DisplayPort monitor, for example if the laptop was booted while the lid was closed. Fixed a bug in nvidia-installer that caused the 32-bit libGL.la libtool library file to be installed to the wrong location.

I'm using x11-video-nvidiaG03-319.32-15.1.x86_64 for openSUSE 12.2 ATM.

It would be very kind to update this driver with the new version.

TIA, Pete
