When I attempt to scroll down the webpage http://www.weather.gov in konqueror, my keyboard becomes unusable and X and/or KDE is unresponsive. Mouse cursor still responds to mouse movement. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open konqueror do not maximize. 2. Go to http://www.weather.gov 2a. Same effect can be acheived by creating and clicking a desktop shortcut to http://www.weather.gov 3. Attempt to scroll page using any of the following: mousewheel, arrow buttons on scrollbar, dragging scrollbar, arrow keys on keyboard. Actual Results: My keyboard became unusable. I was unable to switch to a different vc, unable to bring up the "run command" function in KDE via Alt-F2, unable to activate caps lock/num lock/scroll lock. X and/or KDE was unresponsive as windows would not respond to clicking on any of the buttons in the window's title bar, KDE's panel would not respond to mouse clicks, icons on the panel would not "light up" on mouseover. I had to reboot to regain use of the keyboard. Expected Results: Keyboard, KDE, and konqueror should remain responsive. I have successfully used Mozilla 1.2.1 to view this page without problems. This problem started occuring shortly after emerging nvidia-kernal and nvidia-glx and making approriate changes in XF86Config. Problem occurs when starting X via xdm or with "startx" command. emerge info and XF86Config will be in attachments.
Created attachment 11919 [details] XF86Config file
Created attachment 11920 [details] emerge info
Web page looks fine to me, no slow down problems. Not using nvidia drivers, though.
Created attachment 11922 [details] XF86Config changes Changed XF86Config to use "nv" instead of "nvidia". Konqueror now works as expected. My question now, is this a bug with Nvidia's driver or Konqueror/KDE?
upgrade your nvidia drivers, i'm using them as well and i can't reproduce this problem, i use the lastest version
Installed latest nvida drivers (version 1.0.4363) with the use of "ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~X86" emerge nvida-glx". Bug no longer appears. Latest version when _not_ using the ACCEPT_KEYWORDS line is 1.0.4349-r2... bug appears when using this version. Thank you for the suggestion, Michele.
Unfortunately nvidia's drivers don't have the best reputation for stability. Those drivers support many different chips and revisions in a lot of different settings (combinations with motherboards). Some versions may work better for you and others work better for other people. There were some new features introduced in 1.0.4??? so reverting to 1.0.3??? drivers could solve problems (for other people as the new driver appears to work for you). Anyway I'm closing this as for you it is fixed, and we cannot do much about the nvidia drivers anyway.
maybe the new version of nvidia-kernel should be marked as stable?
