AFAIK and could test (only 4h time) it's not a NVIDIA issue per se but a combination of OpenGL usage in KDE and nv-driver version. Did another short test today with intersting results, not not wholy reproducable: Take 11.4 rc1, use latest nv-beta driver (270.xx) and only some slowdowns remain, e.g. even with effects off via settings, the switch from virtual-desktop to virtual-desktop is simply like wading trough honey. If one does replace ksmserver with openbox from LXDE, it's fast and nice but of course missing the special integration of ksmserver. On the other hand using Xrender instead of OpenGL, is slower overall, but no extra slowdowns, even with some of the effects on. Also got some feedback from friends with AMD graphics, even with the new integrated GPU, and they are raving about the quality and improvement, esp. with the FOSS drivers. Sadly no time for testing this weekend, RL greets. Cheers, Yamaban out. PS: Is there any way of switching off just some of the OpenGL in KDE? e.g: Only using a lower version subset? -- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org
