[gentoo-user] weird xorg/nvidia-drivers 169.09-r1 behaviour

Been using nvidia-drivers-100.14.19 without problems but I wish to upgrade
to latest stable version, in a hope to reduce random suspend crashes I've
been having with latest tuxonice-sources.
The thing is... once I'm up and running with nvidia-drivers 169.09-r1 xorg
and conky have this strange behaviour with conky window overlapping each
time it refreshes.
First screenshot is my desktop in it's normal state, 2nd one is the
behaviour I'm talking about... The only window that always overlaps is the
"network" section, and the conkyrc options are the same as for other conky
instances.

Anyone have a clue what may be causing this?



Best regards!

in your xorg.conf

In the module section, try adding the following line

load "dbe"

Then try to run conky from your terminal-emulator, does it say something
that

"double framebuffer enabled?"

Also,i found the conky in ~x86 portage a little of weird,

1. it displays my uptime very strange, a very very very very long digit,
something like 34343433333333333333333333,

oh, my computer never run so much time without powering down

2. mpd is not working with conky, maybe this is a problem with mpd, but i am
not sure

hope this would help

Yup, i have dbe enabled and I'm running conky with double buffer support.
I have no problems whatsoever with older versions of nvidia-drivers
