Looks like a somewhat common issue with KWin, people have had it with - Xinerama enabled on Nvidia: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=123715 - Dual GPU laptops: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=323134 And this 32-bit requirement was dropped in KWin: https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/126262/ But that fix is probably only in Plasma5, not KDE4. (Time to drop KDE4! ;)) Have you tried modesetting DDX (w/ glamor acceleration) instead of the (terrible) intel DDX? Just deleting the intel driver should accomplish that, but just in case, manual xorg.conf config looks like: Section "Device" Identifier "GPU" Driver "modesetting" Option "AccelMethod" "glamor" EndSection
