Hello,
I am a complete noobie when it comes to Linux distributions and have been reading different forums for a solution for my problem. I think it may be the so called “nVidia bug” but I am too incompetent to know how to fix it.
I am not afraid to screw my system up (done this many times in Windows over the years), but am hoping for a little help.
What I have run into: when Kwin is rendering in OpenGL, it runs at a snail pace, and uses about 80% cpu resources. I did not have this problem in 11.3, but started in 11.4. I don’t think this problem is related to openSUSE, but more to KDE environment. Before upgrading to 11.4 I was playing with different live distros, and ran into the same problem in Mint 10, Gentoo & Fedora 14 (KDE 4.5.5 or higher).
I am running a Dell laptop with an Intel 915 chipset. The currently installed driver showing in Yast is “xorg-x11-driver-video-nouveau-0.0.16_20110115_b795ca6-3.1”
Thanks for any help.
