I have some problems with nvidia-drivers since version 334.21. Some applications like Adobe Flash or even nvidia-settings stuck for minutes. It's not even possible to suspend my computer, so I think it really has something to do with drivers. If I switch to xorg-x11 drivers (eselect opengl set xorg-11), it stops crashing. Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run a browser with some flash applications, videos etc. Use it for a while 2. Suddenly the browser stops responding. After this crash anything it stuck almost every time, nvidia-settings cannot be run. Actual Results: Applications which are using graphics card (directly?) are stuck or they're crashing. This is what I've found in dmesg after I run nvidia-settings, it crashes with SIGSEGV: [ 259.352754] traps: nvidia-settings[4343] general protection ip:7f7683ecf9b0 sp:7fff415e0b38 error:0 in
