1. Is there any damage in startkde of running
kdetcompmgr as a background
task?
2. What process started in startkde is launching
kconf_update?
3. Why is kconf_update being launched?
4. Is there a way to prevent kconf_update from
running?
What version of the nVidia drivers does Slackware install?
The issue occurs within a very low level section of code,
and I have not
seen it on my Ubuntu systems in ages, thus I suspect it may
be a known
issue with older versions of the nVidia driver.
Slackware does not install any Nvidia packages. They are left to the users
to build and install.
I am using 195.36.31 and have been for a long time. That is what I'm using
on 3.5.10 too, where I don't see this behavior.
Is changing the Nvidia package the answer? Many people are going to be
attracted to TDE because of the potential to run on older hardware. If
those people have older Nvidia cards they will be using legacy drivers.
