I'm using nvidia-drivers, and didn't try the -9999 version of those |
| 48 |
last few packages but otherwise tried the rest of your suggestion. |
| 49 |
Tried also upgrading to qt-4.7.0_beta2 but still having the freezing |
| 50 |
problems. It happens even without desktop effects enabled, just plain |
| 51 |
2D mode. So it seems something is just not right... will keep |
| 52 |
experimenting. |
