For some weeks now I try to get the nvidia 169.x driver to work with Xorg and KDE, but everytime when I start kdm it is so slow that I cant do anything except killing it. Mouse moves normal. When I kill X with ctrl+backspace and xdm restarts, the problem is gone. I can use kde as usual. atm I use nvidia-drivers-100.14.09 without any disturbance. Even after updating to xorg-server-1.4 today nothing changed I cant find any error or warning messages in the logfiles(Xorg.0.log, kdm.log, dmesg) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge nvidia-drivers-169.12 2. restart your computer 3. start xdm and try to login Actual Results: I can watch X building the gui line by line Expected Results: being fast? Restarting X fixes the problem temporary
You can try Gentoo forums for support, but as nvidia-drivers are binary only drivers there is nothing we can fix.
