according to phoronix new nvidia-drivers have been released today with some nice fixes. a version bump would be highly appreciated. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. eix nvidia-drivers Actual Results: nvidia-drivers-285.05.09 not in portage Expected Results: nvidia-drivers-285.05.09 shozld be in portage
Please note this is a pre-release. Official changelog in nvnews.net website [1]. Having tested this, I can confirm the bug causing some apps to hang on exit is solved, but it looks like there are two regressions : - slow focus change and high cpu usage - high cpu usage when drawing *some* transparent objects (eg. xfce4-power-monitor OSD when adjusting brightness) (xorg-server-1.11, libX11, pixman, all xf86-* drivers rebuilt). Please see [2] for people experiencing the first regression at least. [1] http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=166993 [2] http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=165665&page=4
(sorry for the typo, one should read xorg-1.11.1, not xorg-1.11)

I take it, that the new driver has the same slow focus and high CPU usage problems as the long-lived one, then.
