1 Hello All,
2
3 I've recently upgraded xorg-x11 and xorg-server without realizing the binary
4 nvidia drivers do not work. So I downgraded back to 7.2 and 1.3,
5 respectively. Now whenever I run KTorrent it runs for about a minute and
6 then xorg crashes and freezes. Any song I was playing starts to skip like a
7 broken record, the mouse and keyboard become unresponsive, with the
8 exception of the caps lock LED which flashes. Anyway, I believe the problem
9 to be within my xorg.conf file. I changed it when upgrading, and again when
10 downgrading. Here is most of it:
