I'm running with almost all the eye-candy on KDE and I have zero X issues. Rotating the virtual desktop cube is just as fast. Cover Switch is just as quick with about 10 app windows running. Am able to switch to tty1-6 no problem. gkrellm is running about 1.5% CPU. Have you run top to see if someone is stealing cpu? -- Incumbent, n.: Person of liveliest interest to the outcumbents. - Ambrose Bierce, "The Devil's Dictionary" <<< Remove YOURSHOES to email me >>>

With 11.3 I am able to do > so. > houghi I'm having something which looks like your trouble; context: gkrellm running, with cpu temp AND gpu temp displayed in gkrellm; not heavy workload (web browsing, dolphin opened, very low load) problem: mouse hang for a few seconds (frozen desktop) then all is back as normal what I've done: 1) installed kernel-default instead of kernel-desktop; I can't confirm any improvement, even if I "feel" it's better (need more systematic investigations) 2) in gkrellm: unchecked "gpu temp"; I "feel" it's better, but as I'm switching from 11.2 to 11.3 and back, I have not investigated enough under 11.3 11.3 64 bits, amd 955 quadcore, 8GB ram, nvidia 9500gt -previous nvidia drivers: 256.35 -> problem occurs from time to time -"new" nvidia drivers (195.36) from ftp://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/11.3/x86_64/ -> same problem sorry not to be more helpful, it's only to confirm there is a problem related to nvidia and gkrellm under 11.3 cheers fabrice

Please complain directly to NVIDIA. Thanks. -- Eat drink and be merry, for tomorrow they may make it illegal. <<< Remove YOURSHOES to email me >>> |
