Description Ralph Müller-Welt 2010-11-01 01:34:57 UTC

Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.5.2) 
OS:                Linux

Distro: Kubuntu 10.10
KDE: 4.5.2
GFX: GeForce FX 5700/AGP/SSE2
Driver: NVIDIA 173.14.28

Issue:
When using present windows (CTRL+F10) i get no preview windows, only window names. After present windows Desktop is extremely slow!
Other effects (still) work fine (desktop cube, Desktop grid, etc).

Work around:
Don't use present windows ;-(
Or if system is already slow, toggle desktop effects off and on again.

History:
I never had anything like that before!
Issue appeared after upgrade kubuntu 10.04 -> 10.10 with nouveau (no 3d) -> NV 173.14.28.



Reproducible: Always

see the dupe. you'll have to append the output of 

   echo "NVIDIA=`glxinfo | grep 'OpenGL renderer string' | sed -e 's/^.*: //'`:-:`glxinfo | grep 'OpenGL version string' | sed -e 's/^.*: //'`"

to the  [Blacklist][Lanczos] section of your ~/.kde/share/config/kwinrc
