In general, the Intel drivers and the nVidia proprietary drivers seem to be
the most reliable ones. The nVidia open-source drivers (nouveau) are
reverse-engineered and not very reliable at all. The AMD drivers (both sets)
are supposed to be somewhere in between. I've stuck with nVidia cards
and have had no problems (well, until the one in my laptop got end-of-lifed).
We lease systems and this one expires soon, actually. Next one will
have nVidia!
I played with this some more but got frustrated. Did a --force
reinstall of the AMD drivers and am back to where I was. Evidently
I've been living right or something because the issues I saw before
with Konsole being a slug when Opera was running are GONE. The
underbar artifact is gone as well. I am content not knowing why and
am just glad I have all ...
Dangit, it's back. Apparently the driver doesn't like me opening an
Opera window with GMail.
Well, regardless. nVidia next time.
Thanks, all, for all the help and suggestions!
