One of the things we just discovered on this list is that newer versions |
| 14 |
of KDE are trying to use things like the Composite extension, and it is |
| 15 |
causing problems for some people (slowness was the previous case). |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
Some things to try: |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
1. Disable Composite. |
| 20 |
2. Disable DRI. |
| 21 |
3. Try the x.org "nv" driver instead of "nvidia". |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Depending upon whether and which one of those work, you will have a |
| 24 |
place to start from on more debugging. |

Probably not...more likely opengl or composite is causing the problem for X. |
