Howdy,
I been letting portage upgrade nvidia drivers as usual. 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:

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
