I tried the nv driver with opengl set to xorg and nvidia both resulted with black screen with flashing cursor
I then tried with the vesa driver screen was not refreshing correctly inserting usb stick caused dt to freeze (I waited 2 minutes hoping it would come back) Changed back to nvidia driver inserted usb stick mpounted it via notifier worked ok until umount then it dt crashed Have noticed that the nvidia graphics does slow down after a bit of usage, might be worth while going back to previous driver as suggested by Fabio I did a clean install on a x86 that has an older x1650 radeon card, using the daily k build (march 7) it is using ati driver but I still have usb crash when umount usb stick (will be changing it to limbo repo then update TO KDE 4.8.1) Will also test kde 4.8.1 on another 5 (64bit) systems when I wake up in the morning On Fri, Mar 9, 2012 at 10:29 PM, Joost Ruis <[email protected]>wrote: > The crash happens everywhere (not always at once) but the PROBLEM here > seems that nvidia-drivers users can not recover from this crash, where > other systems can.
