Dear Raster. Thank you for your reply.
> Input should have nothing to do with driver. it's unrelated to any video driver (nvidia) code. This doesn't make sense... :/ It's something else. After having read your reply, I checked my config and startup script and found, that I run a modified gnome-session every time I start enlightenment. That comes from a time when I used a gnome-panel in my enlightenment session. So removing that gnome-session solved my most important problems. Heureka! So it looks like that gnome-session interfered with the enlightenment session from time to time. Still it is interesting to see, that the problems only came up, once I started to use the nvidia-396 driver. Strange... > So the first port of call is to look into if the latest efl + e from git master... A long time ago there was a build script, 'easy_e17.sh' it was called I tnink, that checked the project tree for new code and compiled the components accordingly. Would such a script still exist? Or what would be your recommended way to compile enlightenment from source? THX again for your time. Am Fr., 28.
