I've been using the NVidia drivers since the day they were released, and I'= ve=20 never seen a KDE crash that could be attributed to them. That's multiple=20 versions of -STABLE and multiple versions of KDE, everything from 3.0.x to= =20 KDE CVS. I have seen twice X crash entirely (and in fact, spontaneously= =20 reboot the machine) apparently from the nvidia drivers, but in both those=20 cases I was playing movies via the tv-out port, and there was no window=20 manager or desktop environment running at all. Just X, an xterm, and=20 mplayer. If there's a bad interaction with KDE and the nvidia binary=20 drivers, it apparently isn't affecting all nvidia based cards, making it=20 pretty hard to work on unfortunately :(. To try: Does the problem go away entirely if you use the nv drivers? Does the problem go away if you switch to the "kde-classic" window decorati= on=20 in KDE? You'll also probably get more input by asking on kde@freebsd.org Regards, =2D --=20 Lauri Watts KDE Documentation: http://i18n.kde.org/doc/ KDE on FreeBSD: http://freebsd.kde.org/ =2D----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQE+OUQr/gUyA7PWnacRAqZqAKCFZd2gHP05JrlsS8TrbutIE3G1KACcC64p rBGJvZcbgK9x+Ka3tUqXLNU=3D =3DwIKB =2D----END PGP SIGNATURE----- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
