Can you reproduce this with the "nv" driver? Also, if you're using the binary nvidia drivers, which version? Please attach your xorg.conf.
Created attachment 40282 [details] xorg.conf With nv the problem disappears. But this is no long time solution because I need opengl. I am using the latest nvidia driver - media-video/nvidia-kernel-1.0.6111-r1 On my Athlon64 I do not have these problems. One other thing to mention is, that I switched from gcc 3.3.x to gcc 3.4.x. (and I recompiled kernel + nvidia-kernel) I don't know, if this could cause some problems.
Try changing this to False: Option "Composite" "True"
same problem for me, is there a bug which I can track about this?
Can you please try nvidia-glx-1.0.7174-r3 and report whether or not the problem still exists
I have no more problems with Option "Composite" "False"
Has this problem been fixed with the latest nvidia drivers or is the "composite" setting a suitable fix?
No response, so we'll assume this bug is taken care of. If not, please reopen. Please check the latest NVIDIA driver first though.
as far as I know this is still a (known) problem. nvidia has some information about it, no other fix than disabling the composite feature
Since there is a "fix" for it and since it is a driver problem and not a Gentoo problem, I think we should leave it closed.
