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
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!
