linux-headers-2.6.29-1-686 is missing all the symlinks to linux-headers-2.6.29-1-common. For example: # ls -l /lib/modules/2.6.26-2-686/build/include/linux/agp_backend.h lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 66 Mar 30 19:30 /lib/modules/2.6.26-2-686/build/include/linux/agp_backend.h -

2009-03-30 Thread Lennart Sorensen
OK, so I see now that the symlinks from the past release are no longer used due to new magic Makefile stuff. Rather neat. However as the original bug says, Makefile_32.cpu is in fact missing from linux-headers-2.6.29-1-common, which breaks i386. amd64 doesn't need it and hence works fine.

There is no reason what so ever to say it is a driver bug. kwin crashes with the nvidia driver. kwin should not crash no matter what garbage the driver may return to it. It can detect that it got bad data back and give an error, but a crash is simply sloppy coding and hence a bug in kwin.
