Thing is, the last two or three drivers seems to cause a issue. First, versions that cause the issue: =x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-319.12 =x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-319.17 =x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-319.23 I'm currently using this one which works fine: x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-313.30 This is KDE info: [IP-] [ ] kde-base/kdelibs-4.10.3-r2 Video card info: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GT216 [GeForce GT 220] (rev a2) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: NVIDIA Corporation Device 069a Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 18 Memory at fb000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16M] Memory at c0000000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=256M] Memory at de000000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=32M] I/O ports at ef00 [size=128] [virtual] Expansion ROM at d0000000 [disabled] [size=512K] Capabilities: [60] Power Management version 3 Capabilities: [68] MSI: Enable- Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit+ Capabilities: [78] Express Endpoint, MSI 00 Capabilities: [b4] Vendor Specific Information: Len=14 Capabilities: [100] Virtual Channel Capabilities: [128] Power Budgeting Capabilities: [600] Vendor Specific Information: ID=0001 Rev=1 Len=024 Kernel driver in use: nvidia Kernel modules: nvidia The problem. After I am logged into KDE for a good while, like several hours to maybe a day or so, the kicker thingy at the bottom locks up tight. I can't switch desktops, clock stops working, can't click the K menu thingy either. Everything in the kicker thingy is dead as a door nail. I can switch desktops with the keyboard and everything else works in KDE just fine. I can also switch to a console too. Killing X and restarting it fixes it, xdm restart in my case. I don't have to reload drivers or restart the system. I do go back and downgrade the drivers after testing it. So, is this a nvidia bug, KDE bug or is it something else? Since it works when I go back a version of nvidia, it looks like nvidia. Think is, it only affects KDE and nothing else. Is it possible that my card is not supposed to use the 319.* series of drivers? The versions that don't work are all 319.* series. Thoughts? Dale :-) :-) -- I am only responsible for what I said ...
