** Description changed: Binary package hint: nvidia-glx When using KDE 4.x with an NVidia card and the NVidia proprietary driver, it is critical that the option "backingstore" is deactivated or at least set to false in file xorg.conf. Otherwise this leads KDE 4 to crash randomly and to be unusable. However this option was very useful when using NVidia cards with Compiz, but nowadays it does not seem useful anymore and due to its side effects it should be deactivated. Upgrade script that patch the xorg.conf in order to disable the X input devices should also take care of this.
