I've researched it a little bit, and nvidia issues are *discarted* in this issue. With same nvidia driver, same kernel config, I discovered that the problem only appears when I have certain applets loaded. In my case I have problems when running: System Monitor - CPU System Monitor - Temperature System Monitor - Network FOlder View If I unload all the System Monitor plasmoids, I cannot reproduce again, so it's not nvidia but plasma related. Should I open a bug? (and if so, people that answered they had similar problem with plasmoids and plasma, answer to that bug too?) ___________________________________________________ This message is from the kde mailing list.
