Howdy,
The other week I unmasked the nvidia beta drivers, then unmasked
X 7.1. Well and good.
Until I tried to run google earth. This was a first for me. Totally
unresponsive
system, spawning ksysguard processes about every other second. Couldn't
ctrl-alt-Fn, couldn't keep the focus in a konsole long enough to do
anything.
Finally had to power down.
After powering back up and killing a ton of ksysguard processes, examined
the googleearth ebuild. It looks like it uses a provided installer. My
guess
is the installer senses the environment and sets configuration options.
Re-emerging googleearth solved the main issue.
The ebuld looks like it has a dependency on the version of X and
nvidia-drivers.
Not sure why my system didn't require a rebuild when I upgraded X. YMMV.
Still have a side-effect where the ksysguard applet can not connect to the
localhost.
HTH,
Roy
