Ok, I can't be of too much help since the only device I have with |
| 7 |
nvidia hardware doesn't have a keyboard so I don't switch consoles |
| 8 |
often. :) |

It is possible somebody else will chime in with suggestions or similar |
| 11 |
experiences. However, the official upstream source of support would |
| 12 |
be nvidia themselves - you might consider asking on their forums/etc |
| 13 |
to see if anybody using their linux drivers have had similar issues. |

You could try using the nouveau drivers if switching consoles is more |
| 16 |
important to you than 3D performance - I will say that it will almost |
| 17 |
certainly have much worse performance. I do run nvidia-drivers on my |
| 18 |
ITX mythtv front-end for just that reason - I don't think VDPAU works |
| 19 |
with nouveau on that hardware, and it is essential for 1080p |
| 20 |
performance with the dinky atom processor. On most of my desktops I |
| 21 |
run Radeons and for linux I use the mainline drivers with KMS - it has |
| 22 |
been rock solid. |

|
| 24 |
But, by all means see if somebody chimes in, or try the forums or |
| 25 |
pinging the maintainer of the drivers (currently jer). To some extent |
| 26 |
you're all at the mercy of Nvidia. |

Oh, and one other thing to try is a different kernel version. I don't |
| 29 |
know the latest details, but as I recall Nvidia tends to only |
| 30 |
officially support certain kernel series. Their drivers might happen |
| 31 |
to build for a different kernel series, but perhaps it gets less QA in |
| 32 |
those situations. You might find that switching to a different |
| 33 |
longterm might help. I'm running 3.18 on my only nvidia hardware. |
